Tire Siping
What Is Siping and How Is It Done?
Siping is a process that involves adding thin slits to the surface of the tire. These thin slits increase the number of biting edges in the tread. Siping is done by placing your tires on a specially designed machine that rotates your tires while making small 90-degree cuts in your tread. Les Schwab Tire Centers offer this service at all our locations. Stop by your local Les Schwab, and we will be happy to discuss whether siping is a good option for your tires and driving experience.
