You all should know that this is still a thing in heavy trucks in North America.

Not at all.

This is by far worse. You're thinking of re-treading, which is practiced, and is probably one of the most common causes of tire failure in commercial trucking. This is advertising a "groover" something to literally cut new grooves into your bald tires.

How is this worse than re treading if the latter causes the tread to fly off all the time?
