when most people re-groove a tire they alter a new tread pattern to be different, bigger gaps, smaller lugs, more bend/flex points ect... when it is worn down, its worn down, the carcus is a thin layer of plys. pls correct me if i am wrong but i dont think you can.... (we all know you "could") but don't think it's a good idea.
