biggun6ss Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 Some people use sheet metal screws to stud the tires and they work pretty well. Real studs work better. I like running without studs, seems funner to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

8buck Posted December 3, 2005 Report Share Posted December 3, 2005 (edited) Would it be better to run high or low tire pressure on ice? Edited December 3, 2005 by 8buck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MudSlinger09 Posted December 3, 2005 Report Share Posted December 3, 2005 (edited) i think i saw worktrucks in alaska on tv that had 8 foot wide tires man , so i guess lower and more coverage on ground would be best Edited December 3, 2005 by MudSlinger09 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paintball for life Posted December 3, 2005 Report Share Posted December 3, 2005 i would say it depends on what you plan to do. if you want good traction low pressure and studs would be the way to go. if you want to have some fun run your tires at normal pressure and just stud the front so you have good control Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallynut Posted December 3, 2005 Report Share Posted December 3, 2005 If your gonna run on the roads covered with snow, I wouldn't waste good studs, just run sheet metal screws into some older tires. Your gonna loose some of them especially if you hit clear surfaces anyway, it is a blast. You will loose the screws also when riding off road due to rocks and roots, just warn anyone riding with you that they may get roosted with a few. Not too many people are gonna want to stay on your tail anyways. Even with screws, it's a good lesson in controlled sliding when off road, on ice, it's just plain fun. Guys without screws will just be sit'n and spin'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8buck Posted December 3, 2005 Report Share Posted December 3, 2005 I've never even thought of riding on the ice till I saw this post. Now we are all thinking of screwin our tires and heading out to the resevoir this winter, settin up some cones and doin some racing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshtruction Posted December 3, 2005 Report Share Posted December 3, 2005 how do paddle tires do in the snow? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallynut Posted December 4, 2005 Report Share Posted December 4, 2005 Paddles might work good for snow, but adding screws would be hard. I use 22" Spider Tracs, plenty to screw into. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hittintrees srh Posted December 4, 2005 Report Share Posted December 4, 2005 paddles or studs would be fun-just remember to take offyour pod filters(if ya got em'). you dont want any water runnin threw your motor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYUK Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 paddles work good, but freeze and get brittle, i ran paddles a few years back and the next time i rode sand , they all snapped off.went in with haulers, came out with slicks.
