Cutting Grooves in Tires?

Hope you all don't mind I'll be posting here a lot but got lots of questions because I am gathering parts for my project.

I love the sidewall look on the Firestone cheater slicks with the black wall, and piecrust ribbed sides, but because I live in NY I obviously cannot have slicks here cause it rains. Is there a way to cut grooves to make this a usable tire in rain, or is there a tire like this with grooves?

just buy yourself a grooving iron and do them to your liking,,,,Speedway sells groovers.

 

I've run on slicks in ny and haven't had much problem in the rain

Slicks in the rain, you have a window on the rear as well, what's your problem?

 

If they are d.o.t approved I wouldn't mess with them. I would just run something else In the winter time.

 

I heard a Lot of bad things happening on the road in rain with slicks, there is even a thread here on a disatster that happened with them. Anyway I think im gonna get a grooving iron a cut a couple extra grooves in there, or even make a design with grooves, ive seen tire art when people make designs with grooves may do that... Thanks!
