Ice tires w/ studs pre-installed?

[BowenCT]

Does anyone know if there is a place to buy ice tires WITH studs/screws already in them? Thanks

Almost all the guys I know that are supposed to be "Pro Tire Builders" are really only selling bike tires. The only guy I know is making quality ATV tires, is Marcel Fournier. He is canadien and he knows what he is doing, but that means nothing but bad for me or you. First off they are made to order, so get in line and expect to wait. Then the fact that he uses his own top shelf studs, means expensive prices. Not to mention the canadiens are f'ing serious about their studs and they are way more aggressive then what AMA rules allow for, so no legal racing in the states. Not even Outlaw classes let you run the monster MF44's, Holidays, or Kanadiens. Last but not least, have you ever paid shipping on tires? Ouch!

 

So, if I were you, I would investigate and research doing the tires your self. It is a little daunting at first but just find a comfy place to lean back and stick that tire in your lap and start drilling away. Check out the threads in the flat track forum and it should give you some hints.

 

Any way, I would be willing to build a set for cost of the tire/wheel package, studs and $100 bucks. Plus what ever it costs to get them shipped to you. Shipping from me might not be bad, because I ship from my tranny shop out that way alot. Pm me if interested.

I can buy Ice tires "ready to race" here from Finland. I know that that doesn´t help you much, but they are keeping them in stock.

I bought my fronts ready and did my rears by my self because I wanted to learn how to do that.

(look other Ice tire thread on here if you want to see the pic´s of them)
