Been looking at my tires and noticed hey say regroovable... Went to the Goodyear website and they say this is for buses only... Anyone look into this... Just curious. Want to replace mine later this year with Michellins.
It just means that there is enough rubber in the tire casing to cut new shallower grooves after the original ones wear out. Not done too much anymore but who knows what the future will bring. Most RV tires never wear down to the point where regrooving makes sense. To the person, or truck owner, that gets your tires after you trade them in, they may cut new grooves and get a few thousand more miles out of them.
Yes, as rgatijnet1 states, it means the tire has enough rubber that it can be regrooved. I would not worry about buying a regrooveable tire, but I would not buy a regrooved tire.
