Iv sipped a set of tires with a good quality olfa knife, set blade depth to desired depth, I didn't go all fancy , just straight across all tread lugs(easy) and the tires worked much better in wet and snow conditions, as the tire wears , the sides will open up a bit

I bet it takes a while to do with the Olfa.

These are the tires I got. On a tight budget and really had not too many options so when they were 25% off it seemed like a good deal. In the US they have good reviews.

Haha, I just bought a set of motor master total terrain apl tires last week, but mine are the tamer version. The reason I bought the apl instead of the at2 was the siping. I put them on the Ford for the winter and they work great!! Super happy with them, but they aren't round, one of the tires I noticed had a "hop" while balancing, I got it zeroed, but a little vibration is present, I tried moving it on the rim , most likely it would fail a road force balance , but I'm not that picky about it, so it doesn't bother me. As for siping with the olfa knife, once the first tire was done I had a wild and dangerous rhythm going and the other 3 were finished in the time it took to do the first. 

Here are my total terrain apl tires
