"Tread Cutter" Boosts Tire Traction
“We don’t recommend the Tread Doctor for tractors or other big equipment tires, but it works great on motorcycles, ATV’s, cars and light duty truck tires,” says Kevin Schulte, Hardline Products.
  Over time, aggressive tire treads round off, reducing traction. The Tread Doctor was developed to keep knobby tires on dirt bikes sharp. However, as Schulte suggested, the device works equally well on maintaining tread on any traction tire. Its heated, carbide cutting blade quickly slices away the rounded edge, returning the sharp edge needed to grab the soil.
  “The Tread Doctor can extend the useful life of your tires,” says Schulte. “With a little practice, you can cut off the minimal amount of rubber needed to regain traction.”
  The Tread Doctor comes with its own holding stand and runs on 110V AC. It’s priced at $59.99. It’s also available with a second brass head and 10 replacement blades for custom designing knobby patterns in the face of treads. It’s priced at $79.99.
