Little slits in tread blocks. Most tires have a little sipping while performance tires are usually big tread blocks to get most rubber on the ground. Sipping makes tread bite a little better because more leading edges. But also make tire more flexible which you dont want in race car tires.

Iv had 33" dura tracs on my JK for over a year now and I live in Toronto and I must say I'm very happy with them as winter tires. They really do deserve that winter badge
I'm a weekly snowboarder so driving up north, even in huge snow falls I had no problems at all plowing throw the snow.

Looks good! Stock suspension? I get rubbing at full turn on the airdam. Debating if I should trim it or just take the whole thing off.
