thoughts on Siping tires (for fuel economy)
here in the PNW,
all the tire shops push SIPING of the tires
claiming its good for wet/snow traction, as well as tread life, and even economy
what do you guys here think about it?

Quote:
Siping reduces friction heat and its effect on your tire by allowing the tire to cool. The sipes act by isolating heat into small “corrals” and allowing air to pass between them, thereby dispersing the heat and naturally cooling the tire.
