[Shop-talk] Tire studs

[Arvid]

I've had the opposite experience.

When I bought my JD X595 17 years ago I bought an additional set of lug type tires mounted on wheels and a set of chains. Deflated the tires, mounted the chains as tight as I could, inflated the tires. Chains were really snug on the tires. Used safety wire to ensure the loose ends were no longer loose ends. Take the wheels off every spring, on every fall. Significantly easier than taking the chains on and off the tires. Never had an issue. I am assuming the tires are about the same size as are on your zero-turn ... 26 x 12-12.

Guess I was just lucky.
