Check with a local dealer that installs them - they probably have have some old ones laying around.

 

If your puting snowmobile type studs in your tires go with a 4 or 6 ply tire because if not they will pull through. Use big washers and really tighten them up and they won't leak much air.

thanks

 

I was just going to use some 3/8 bolts and big washers and grind the end of the bolt to a point I am not shure how much bolt I should have stiking out past the nut I was thinking about an inch

 

I have seen them do this in automotive tires it should work for me.

I did that a few years ago - I used 1 1/4" long bolts and fender washers on the inside and outside. They have to be really sharp for them to dig in. If you can get some carbide snowmobile studs they'd be better because they'd stay sharper

These wont see to much Ice just a lot of hard pack snow and some deep powder.

 

I suppose sand paddles would work good in the deep stuff or some really aggressive mud tires.
