[QUOTE="14D, post: 76904, member: 410"] I'm not much of a snow rider(just don't like it, leave the snow to the sleds...). But I've heard time and time again if you're gonna stud them, get the correct studs(the ones in that article, front and back look like they should work perfect, so I'd go for them...) and run them all the way in. Obviously this means the screw tips will rub the tube, so I've always been told to find a old street bike tire, cut off the sides and line the inside of the dirt bike tire with it so the tubes protected from the tips. The thing I don't like about that article is it says to just run the studs in enough to plant the head, not to go through the knob which is a good way to lose studs within the first ride or 2. I also don't get why it says to cut the knobs... Well I guess in ice I can see that maybe the back studs would grip too well and eventually rip the knobs but in snow(which is what I'm guessing you want to ride) the more knob the better... [/QUOTE]
