I have also made my own studded tires...



Posted a photoset on flickr on how to duplicate them...

I found that 1/2 inch screws were too long... and ended up using 3/8" #8 screws instead. I had to use 3 boxes (100ct) of screws to do both tires. However, I wasn't able to get the rear tire on the wheel, so I went back to knobbies for the rear (which worked fine on the ice). Use some heavy duty leather garden variety gloves to protect your hands when mounting the tire.

Studs only work well on ice, slush bogs down everything.

Rubberside down!
