tonyown Posted December 23, 2008 Report Share Posted December 23, 2008 I run paddle (sand gecko) with like 30-40 studs looking like this: And it runs well on ice and not to bad in snow... But it's a little expensive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's a little expensive man i had those studs on my xcsp and it threw a rooster tail of ice about 100 ft, but only helped on ice. if you stud your tires, they are just winter tires after that unless they are studable from the factory. i bet them geccos are pretty knarley in the snow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyown Posted December 23, 2008 Report Share Posted December 23, 2008 I only run my studed paddle during winter... I prefer 4snow in the snow but paddle are not to bad... and the 4snow were not a good choice for this kind of stud it's very soft... My front tire are normal tire with atv/dirt bike stud (aprox 1500 studs in two tire) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DO NOT use self tapping screws!!! ive also used chains, but they are heavier and theres always the chance of throwing them or them tearing up your tire.
