ive heard of people putting snowmobile studs on quad tires did anybody ever try it .... how does it work ......
I also did hear of sombody putting drywall screws through the tire like 5000 of them ...... wouldnt it leak air pressure in the tire ....unless there is somesort of sealant i guess .....ithink i saw it on this forum but cant find the thread .... let ma know if anybody knows how it works

i wouldnt suggest doing it to a set of tires you like but you can use self tapping screws, there short and work very nicley actually, i picked up a pair of these done up just for the wheels but the kid that did it to them he went to far into the rubber on the stocker tires, but theres a guy on youtube that has the snowmobile studs on a stock dunlop tire on a cr250 and he b lasts threw 2ft of snow with no problem, i rode a repo my boss did on a preditor450 with the self tapping screws donew to the stock rears and they worked awsome, ball less quad hah but good traction in a foot of snow

lmao no, in the meat of the tread, you cqan get ones that are little less than half inch or about half inche so it doesnt puncture them, if you have decewnt tires then you have about 1 1/2" of rubber i belive at the lowest point and you just drill them right in there

Some guys up here run them. they like them but make sure the tread is not real soft like a razr mx or something because they pull out easy then. I know people with regular razrs and have pulled a bunch out of a new set. Good luck. They are sweet when they are new just don't ride on blacktop and stuff with them and they work great. It is like rubber on blacktop in the summer. Steve
