Want to stud tires for winter

I have two quads that will need better traction for the winter. Has anyone experience with studding tires? Good or Bad I just need to be pointed in the right direction on where to start.

Re: Want to stud tires for winter

I did a few last year for me and a buddy. I put 125 - 5/8" studs into each rear tire (Maxxis Razer), and 50ish into each front. Makes an incredible difference. Second and third gear wheelies (Predator 500) on pure ice. I also did buddie's Bear Claws on his Raptor. My outlander 800 couldn't catch him on the river. I sold the Predator and bought an Outlaw, I will be studding it this year as well. I bought a box of 1000 - 5/8" studs for $105.

Re: Want to stud tires for winter

I forgot to mention, it's super easy to do. Just a 1/4" socket on a cordless drill, 3 or 4 beer, a couple of hours and you're done. It's a good idea to get at least a single row in the front tires, just for steering in the corners.

Thanks, I'll have to head out and get a case of Beer and some studs. Might see you out on the Blindman or Sylvan Lk this year.

For sure. As long as the weather isn't miserable, the sport quads are a ton of fun on the river. We'll hit it lots this year.

Re: Want to stud tires for winter

They`re up in the loft. They are 25"x10x12" Dunlop at195. The rims are 12"x4/110.The studs are the gold Studboys?. I do have 4 of these set up and I would like $60.00 a piece. for rim, tire and studs.

Re: Want to stud tires for winter

Price is right, but wrong size. I don't imagine you will have a hard time getting rid of those.

Re: Want to stud tires for winter

i ran the maxxis 4 snow tires on the back of my yfz 450 and had great results, great in the snow and actaully pretty good on the ice, 3rd gear power wheelies on ice with water on it.

this hill had a good amount of snow on it, i got stuck coming down it once and it was up to my rear fenders.
