Does anyone have, or have access to a tyre groover?

Just checked the date of the original post.

If that was an offer to use one, I'd still be interested. I never got my hands on one, but would still like to.

In Fiji they used to bend over a razor blade and put a bolt though it and a handle....

My suggestion was to contact someone in the motor racing industry, preferably speedway (Sprintcar) as they tend to regroove their own tyres.

Lindsay's tyres in Mt Evelyn (?) has a groover and does treps, but he has some very firm ideas about where and why you'd groove a tyre.

are these good ideas, grounded in facts and results or just his opinion?

None of the above.
He was just giving treps a tickle in the middle- the so-called "Malaysian cut" which apparently helped them clear.

I think there's much gain to be had there.
