Well recently i just decided to cut my tires on my 1/10 fj (yes my first time). first off i used a utility knife and it took me like 30min to do 1 tire... i was just gonna ask what tool or item do you guys use to cut your tires with? I thaught of using a dremel but i am not shure if it will cut through the tire because it is softer than plastic or metal

hi 4 wheel a dremmel is best for cutting tiers the bit loulou has shown is for sanding and no good for cutting i use these the one marked is a grinding stone and will cut through a rubber tier no problem thanks ..


One day, someone showed me a glass of water that was half full. And he said, "Is it half full or half empty?" So I drank the water. No more problem. ~Alexander Jodorowsky.....

The exacto used to remove the lugs and certain parts of the tire .. and dremel is used to thin the tire (outside) ..

PS ....
.. As NAT says, you can also do everything with the DREMEL ..
