here in the PNW,
it's very common (I'd say 30-50% of tires are siped around here)
all the shops push it
(I figure, I'll pay the $12-15 for better tires instead of modifying cheaper tires)

I've also been told (by a very good friend at a tire shop) not to sipe my tires (on my GTO) because I'll destroy them
but he reccomends it on all NORMAL street vehicles
