regrooved

Channels carved again

Regrooved describes something that has had grooves cut into it again, typically tires whose worn tread patterns have been carved deeper to extend their life.

A regrooved tire is cheaper than a new one but may be less safe.

The term applies to any surface where grooves have been restored or added: regrooved vinyl records, regrooved brake rotors.
