[rackatttack]

yep some of us do that actually just got back from calabogie What you say isn't it slippery not not at all with studded tires I use grip studs http://www.gripstuds.com/ easy to install and remove and last a really long time going to be taking orders for the studs and insertion tools if anyone interested or order your own

hi

I was wondering how many studs are needed per tire. I plan on setting up a new set of rubber for this winter. And do you run heated grips? Are they needed?

Thanks

It would make for a pleasant advanture on sunny and warmer winter days. I am really considering getting an extra set of tire ready for ice or snow riding for this coming winter. I would have to see what is the best pattern layout to use that can do both ice or snow/ice.
As my hands freeze easily, I would probably buy battery heated gloves!

Moto USA provides good information for numbers of studs, grip results in ruts ounce istalled, riding over roots and installation awareness: see http://www.motorcycle-usa.com/2011/04/a ... ds-review/

Alternative to make your own, permanent studded tires here http://www.kevinscycle.com/tires__tubes ... _motocross

Considering the price of the grip studs, this seems like a decent deal for a professional setup. I might be considering the rear tires (I think ice screws would be adequate in the front). I have a US PO box if anyone's interested in a group order.

i Cant find any reviews on these tires,does anyone know anything about them?

 

[zedro]

They are pretty much custom to that shop (although some tires seem to be pre drilled Mitas studdable tires). You probably won't find much on the net about them.
