Tyre Groovers, Sipers & Accessories
Tyre groovers and sipers let you cut custom tread patterns into race tyres, along with heated knife blades and accessories to keep them running. Blades come in round and flat profiles across different sizes (numbered #1 through #10), with round blades suited to narrower grooves and flat blades to wider ones, sold in 12-packs to match consumable use.
Replacement heads and head assemblies are stocked for when the cutting end wears out rather than the whole tool, and a rubber roller applicator is available for heat and noise reduction work on tyres.
Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between round and flat blades?
Round blades cut a rounded groove profile and come in sizes like 1/32in and 2/32in, while flat blades cut a flat-bottomed groove and are sized similarly, such as 3/32in and 4/32in. The choice depends on the groove shape and depth you want to cut into the tyre.
Do I need to replace the whole groover or just the blade?
Blades are sold separately in 12-packs as the main wear item, and replacement head assemblies are also available if the cutting head itself needs replacing.
What is the rubber roller applicator used for?
It's used for heat and noise reduction work on tyres, applied alongside the heated groover tools.
What safety gear should I use with a tyre groover?
Protective gloves and safety glasses are recommended, as the blades run hot and sharp during use.
