DAVE L 31 #1 Posted August 9, 2014 Using screw in ice studs instead of tire chains? I have ag tires, and thought it might work. Just looking for someone who has tried it! Thought of installing them in my tri ribs also. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
neil 2,409 #2 Posted August 9, 2014 I would be intrigued to see if this is possible also Good question Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
can whlvr 993 #3 Posted August 10, 2014 I think it would work on ice very well,as long as the tires can hold the studs in,i mean not getting torn out of the tire Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DAVE L 31 #4 Posted August 10, 2014 They make them for motor cycles that race on ice, skid steer loaders, and many other applications. They come in many differant lengths, and would screw into the bars on my ag tires. I would put some in my tri ribs for steering controle. I just may have to give it a try this winter!

redrooster 83 #5 Posted August 10, 2014 I would use chains and not take a chance on damaging my tires. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tankman 3,518 #6 Posted August 10, 2014 I vote with Red Rooster. Chains 'n weights. I only use turf tires and, would worry 'bout damage to the tubeless tires. Lot of ice? Use a spreader, calcium chloride, salt, sand. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky-(Admin) 21,300 #7 Posted August 10, 2014 So they would become a set of dedicated winter tires then right? Of would you back em all out in the spring? Mike........... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DAVE L 31 #8 Posted August 10, 2014 I would back them out in the spring. But................I think I will have to study into it for awhile before I decide to put them in. It wouldn't be worth it, if they start pulling out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

can whlvr 993 #10 Posted August 11, 2014 it could be hard to back them out when the heads of the screws will be messed up Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
