Title: Re-treading

Right.. i have an old set of BFG MTs. can they be retreaded? i know they're not meant to be, but can it be done?

I dont mean melting new rubber onto the outside of them, i mean making the tread pattern deeper again using a tyre groover

If you`re that tired (no pun intended) of living mate, i reckon the Samaritans might be a better bet than here.  Seriously when you see them hand cutting slicks etc. the tyres are produced specially with enough rubber to take it.  A definite no no with ordinary tyres.

They wouldnt have enough depth of rubber and you would be hitting canvas before you know it!
