Mike, you are special.
So what is it like riding with those...I think that would scare me...

It's like driving a car with studded tires. You have to brake a little earlier and turn a little slower. Otherwise it's just a bit noisy.
Oh, and you can turn, stop, and go on ice.

Mike, how much to do the tires on my Ruck?
First rule of the internet: *bleep* you and everything you stand for. Second rule of the internet: FKZOR U AND RRYTHING U STND FR!
Tires and tubes run about $90 +tax at Performance. I'll drill and stud them to your specs for $20/tire.

I've considered making a side business of studding tires but I'd have to generate a lot of interest to make it worthwhile. I do have access to a stud gun now which eliminates the biggest hurdle.

Is that price for both tires and both tubes? I can mount the tires myself, I just need them studdedI would gladly pay you for your time man.

I am so not surprised.
Both tires and both tubes: ~$90 +tax. IRC Trials 4.00/10" and TR-87 10" tubes. The mounting isn't bad except for the rear wheel nut- I used a 48" Thule load bar as a cheater and still struggled. 22mm 6-pt socket.Is that price for both tires and both tubes?

What exactly is a stud gun? I was just going to use a drill and driver.. Im geting ready to stud my tires on my 636 to ride at gorgetown lake. Im going to order 1500 kold kutter screws. How much would you stud my tires for me? Are you pretty experienced with it??
Kold Kutters are screws. Studs are studs like in a car tire. I've put >15k miles on the street with studded tires. I have no experience with screws, they aren't safe for the street (and they wear out fast on paved).

I see. Never messed with it. Im just going to be on ice only.
Thank you Dysco! We'll have sunny and 60 for weeks now.

It always works like that. I remember taking a set of studs off in late April one year only to get caught in a snowstorm near Conifer.
You're welcome.

no kidding i had no idea that they made stud for bikes. question do they make it for street biks as well i would love to get some
TUrtLE
I am they. Want studded tires? You cannot buy them in the states without great difficulty. Somebody has to make them. There are many street tires that will take studs, but I don't necessarily recommend them for beginners. I have no idea what your skill level is, I'm just putting that out there.
