Guessin	Not sure but I think it's because of the 23 degree angle of the bars on the Firestones. Mark will know. Reply Quote

KKT	Yeah you can make just about any tire that has enough casing into a double cut but the Firestones just work better and of coarse they make the PULLER tires. Reply Quote

You can cut any tire and make something out of it BUT...to get a true double cut there has to be enough rubber across the whole tire.One example.You cannot get a double cut out of a Field and road 151 style tire.No rubber between the bars.Remember double cuts are actually cut into the casing.Doesn't matter how much bar is on it.Then you have some tires where the angle is really steep.Again no rubber.then you have the curved or squiggle bar.By the time you straighten it out there is no bar left.Firestone with it's 23 degree bar has rubber in the casing.(most of the time)!!!

Hope this clears some questions up.
