Mike, you are special.

GixxerCarrie · Sat Jan 17th, 2009, 07:42 PM

So what is it like riding with those...I think that would scare me...

Dysco · Sun Jan 18th, 2009, 10:04 AM

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.

Tires and tubes run about $90 +tax at Performance. I'll drill and stud them to your specs for $20/tire.

Help out an unemployed guy

OR do them yourself for about 3 hours of your time plus $10/tire at a tire shop.

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.

Devaclis · Sun Jan 18th, 2009, 07:07 PM

Is that price for both tires and both tubes? I can mount the tires myself, I just need them studded

I 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.

Don't be strugglin' Mike! Use air tools.

Air impact makes quick work out of getting those things off. Borrow mine if you want.

Half the struggle was keeping the wheel from turning. I ended up using a cargo strap through the spokes. Thank doG I have that burly rack!

Air tools come when I get my own garage back... and maybe have a job

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.

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.

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.
