what should i do with my tires?

i have carlisle tires they are knobby and probably about 3/4 of an inch tall. i am thinking about cutting them into someone like a V-Tread tire. what does everyone thing?

Well if you do that they will clean out better and clean out faster and mud wont stick as much to the tire.
And you might get better traction.

I would just leave them as well because sooner or later you will regret it.

Yeah- If you mess them up or you don't like the results, you've just wasted a perfectly good set of knobbies.

That is the only reason I dont really want to do them is because i feel like if i dont like it then i will have to spend more money on new tires. I have a professional tire cutter available to i could get it done right but im just not sure if im going to like them like that.

I would avoid it. I actually cut down a set of speed chains for a compact car to fit my tractors tires... Haven't tried them on the recent build but they should fit perfect as I had cut them a little on the big side for a standard tire... might want to look into that for mudding...
