RHINO Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 My friend is going to be hooking up his 03 LE for some ice action this winter and I'm trying to find what size studs are appropriate/necessary, where would I find carbide ones, and lastly, where would we find some tubes to use in these studded tires. Also,if you have any recommendations as to the number of studs that he should use in each tire and a pattern,that would be great. Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

420 RACING Posted November 19, 2005 Report Share Posted November 19, 2005 I run woodys 1.2 steel traction eliminators 72 per tire. Nothing special other that use that smallest drill you can which is a 7mm track drill. Find a good pattern that will balance at speed. I put a layer of carpet between the studs and the tube, and have not had a problem. Magic racing will have tubes for any size tire in stock.

420 RACING Posted November 19, 2005 Report Share Posted November 19, 2005 Don't waste your money on carbide tipped ones, they are dull and you can not sharpen them. Where are you heading to this winter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

94&01yfz350 Posted November 19, 2005 Report Share Posted November 19, 2005 You can buy a box of 1000 1/2 inch pro gold screw in studs for $99CAD Lots of traction depending on what you're doing. We do river running and lake drags, they work well. 150 in each front and 350 in each rear, no tubes needed. Haven't lost 1 yet. Put a dab of locktight on each one and your good to go.

RHINO Posted November 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2005 420 RACING... Would it be too much trouble to ask for a closeup pic of your tires? I told my friend the info you gave me and he just wants to be sure they're going to be long enough. I'm sure they will be,but he just wants to be positive. They're 1.2" and the tire isn't that thick,so it must leave alot of stud poking out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

420 RACING Posted November 19, 2005 Report Share Posted November 19, 2005 O by the way keep in mind you can not drive it on the pavement, they will wear down quick. Also with steel you can always sharpen them. Good luck Let us know how it goes!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cotton eyed Joe Posted November 20, 2005 Report Share Posted November 20, 2005 This may or may not be on topic, but I have the ability to grind carbide. Is there a market for resharpening carbide tips or are they typically ruined by the time they need to be replaced/sharpened? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
