My opinion is to start by cutting right down the middle as show above on line B, that way you can go back and fine tune a little if necessary.

Another thing to consider when cutting long strips that wrap around circles to form cylinders (like tire treads). Cut them longer than the printed image. Only cut them to length after making sure they will wrap the whole way around the part without leaving any gaps. Some times designers don't do such a great job calculating the correct length to use for the circumference of a circle.
