Dammitt......have I ruined my tires?

I have been working my butt off cutting my first set of tires. I was so very proud of how pretty they were after I started slicking them out with 80 grit on the sander....then....shhhhh hhhhh ....cut through!!

Lets back up....These tires were road worn real short. I wanted to get 1/2" lug at least, but I was having to cut down to the cords on center part of the lugs because they were worn so bad. I talked to a buddy of mine and he said not to worry it was really common to do that. I am thinking these 8 ply tires is no biggy to bugger a couple layeres of cord cause they are plenty thick.

As it turns out I actually cut down to the last set of cords on a couple spots and hit the tube on one when I was finish sanding them. This just blew me away, cause I could only count a couple sets of cord showing on the worst spots??? I guess I just want to know if a boot over the couple thin spots will be okay????

I am just sick and feeling like a complete idiot right now, so if you have ever done this please feel free to tell me :).

Thanks,

Chris

As far as the two forward and three back, that certainly is farming. I grew up on the farm and still help my Dad from time to time, but I knew I could not do it for a living after seeing my family struggle so much growing up. For me, the tractor is just a hobbie right now.
