[Shop-talk] Tire studs

[Doug Armstrong]

I have an old John Deere lawn tractor that had turf tires on the rear.  Swapped them for Carlisle All Trail ATV Tires that I had loaded with winter windshield washer fluid.

They work well on flat asphalt.  I occasionally have problems on slopes when icy.

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.
