[Shop-talk] Tire studs

[Tom Coradeschi]

Ah, studs. Back In The Day (late 70’s/early 80’s), we studded a lot of snow tires. Had a nifty pneumatic tool which made it a pretty straightforward job.

That being said, unless the tires are “stud-ready”, in that they have holes for you to insert the studs into, not sure how you’d make that happen.

Maybe a set of tire chains?

The tires are a knobby design and work pretty good in the snow already, but once the snow packs a little to ice, they can't get any bite.  So I figured some studs would be perfect.
