i was wondering if anyone ever uses ice screws for their tires and to see how they like then cuz i live right by a lake and i can get grip with my tires now?

 

Like riding on tar.....

 

yep just put in 750 5/8 pro gold studs... i wasnt/arnt disappointed ... here is a lousy vid clip from yesturday... the blue raptor doing donuts dosnt have studs everyone else does... im on the YFZ... BTW you will have to register to download it but its free and takes a couple seconds.!!

JImmah what size do you use???

 

I don't remeber they were pretty big. I had to put some smaller ones in though as I ran out towards the end.

 

jummah arents those in backwards

 

Really can't see how they could go in backwards..... One side is basically a screw and the other side is a hex head with a grind down the middle to create a edge.

 

I have about half an inch of ***** int he front and 1/4" of ***** in the back.

So i'm worried about finding a screw that won't go through the back

 

LOL well how else would you get them in???

 

They "can" go through the tire the problem is if you go through the tire you can't use it without the studs in it unless you tube it. But you will be fine if you puncture the tire wire the screws as long as they stay in the tire.

 

or after you take them out slime will sometimes seal it up!

 

slime is a no no in quad tires it made my **** off balence and wobley and it gunked up my valve stem i wouldnt suggest useing it

 

Jimmah,
next time pick up your dirty socks b4 snappin a pic!
J/k Nice tires, btw
I'm thinkin of studdin' mine, but i m also worried (blinginR6) that they are too bald... what about snomobile pics, with tubes...anyone try that, and if so, how's it work?!?
p.s.- gotta get me a dig camcorder...there was a guy on his quad(a new 650 twin kitty kat, i think) doin' 4wd donuts on the ice! Thats crazy! the inside tires balloon out and he's goin like twenty sittin still....he must have been dizzy!

 

You can do that but you need to lay carpet down inside the tire so that the picks don't puncture the tube. Where I lay my dirty socks is no concern of yours!

 

lol

 

I thought you were suposto put the screw sticking out, i always worried about it comming out but i dont know, if you watch much X-games you see that on the Winter Big Air they stud them with the screws sticking out. And i wouldnt want a quarter inch of screw poking away at my tube .

 

got that right K-Dog

 

heres what im doing... i got my tires studded.. so now ill just buy a new set of tires... which i needed/wanted anyways and keep this set studded...to much a pain to take studs in and out anyways... and yes xidium you can put "picks" in which basically are bolts that use nuts to hold them onto the tires, and these go all the way through the tire...
