chevybanshee91 Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 im running the 1-1/4 carbide tip snowmobile studs... i do a lot of ice riding so they work for me.. I was lucky enough to find my buddy's old snowmobile track wiht studs still good yet and i used them in stock tires.. they hook good they are hard enough to ride on pavement to the gas station if needed, and they will rip the ice out in chunks, so whoever is behind you better have protection Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

03 Banshee LE Posted March 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2011 Yes you will be able too... Just make sure your on the throttle and leaning alot... cause they can catch the ice out of no where... Get used to how they act on the ice before going all out tryign to do a huge drifts... alright thanks alot everybody for all the advice i believe the snowmobile studs is gonna be my best way to go.
