Anyone know if any local shops still sipe tires?

Looks like some Discount Tire shops do

Thanks, Never even thought of them.

I had to call several stores because most don't do it and the St.Paul store that did quit when their machine broke but the Burnsville store still does, looks like it'll be off to Burnsville this weekend.

Norm's Tire Sales in Roseville does it too. I worked there for years and my uncle still works there. They used to be on Little Canada Road, but now they're over by the dealers by 35W and C.

I already called them, they said they got rid of their machine.

Want to see if your uncle has the machine at home now?

Have you called Venburg?

Tried calling Venburg, got stuck on hold and couldn't wait.

Got through to Venburg and they don't do it anymore, they tried to refer me to Norms.

Get your pocket knife out and do it yourself.....

Ended up not going today, I'm going to have to get the A/C clutch bearing fixed before I feel safe driving it that far.

It's not a matter of being cheap, it's a matter of having no spare cash

Your company will be welcome if/when I do bring it down there.

Mark has a hot iron for doing tires. he does his track tires. im sure that since you work about ten feet from him, he might let you borrow it and maybe help you do it
