Just kidding. I have no idea. You would probably have to be The Hulk.

Cut them all in half along the tread and then you only need half as many tires. That's how we do it on our silage bunkers.

I agree with cutting in half that's the way I've seen it done around here

You cut them with a circular saw? I wouldn't think any blade would go through both rubber and steel.

I just did this for dock bumpers at our camp. Tried a drill, but the hole just closed back up. Didn't have a hole saw so I used a reciprocating saw with a bi-metal blade to cut a hole. Worked great in the 2 old mud grips I had because they didn't flex, not as well in the 2 regular tires because they flexed a lot. I think the hole saw would be the ticket.

I use a reciprocating saw with a wood blade. It doesn't take very long to do it.
