I've always considered tire siping to be akin to the under body sealer dealers try to sell when buying a new car.
Why would you want a tire shop to sipe new tires, when the tire company spent considerable time and money in R&D of the tire and its tread design?
I have a truck I bought with near new Multi-mile tires that were siped when first put on. Now chunks of tread are flying off the tire. Where the chunks are breaking away is also where the sipe cuts are. These are Les Schwab installed and siped tires. Funny thing is, Less Schwab alsways advertising how their sales reps run out to the parking lot to greet customers. Each time I bring in this truck and I say I have a warranty issue, the reps run away from me! Comical.
