You have no faith in me, lol.I have plenty of faith in you. It's just not your job to fix my broken toys. It's my job and since I'm challenged it becomes Jim's job. :D

Hey Jimmeh, I might end up with a spare set of wheels for the Hurricane, so what would it cost me to get a set of studded tires for that beast? I've got some OLD tires i could probby get studded...but they're pretty old

Studs are 9 cents each installed, but you need at least 10mm tread depth to install them properly. I recommend dual sport tires for this, probably Shinko 244s or similar (they have them in sizes to fit the Hurricane wheels).

Hmmm....I'm just say'n that since my options for winter commuting are the Ninja, which I can't flat foot, and the Mustang, which is equally bad in the snow, I might as well get some studded winter tires on the 'cane. Since I can flat foot that bouncy bitch, it might be a hooligan winter! What would a set of those all studded up run?

Figure $31.99 for a front, $51.99 for a rear, about $50 for studs and installation, $25 for tubes (tube type tires, even though the rims are tubeless), and $12.99 each to mount and balance, off bike, for a total of about $203. Kind of depends on how aggressive we get with the stud pattern.
