Anyone on the ice yet? I'm having a tire studding beer drining party tonight . I'll keep all you stuntlife freaks posted with pics this week if we still have ice

TILLER

just finished 3 of the 4 tires last nite

i had 500 total in a spare set of rims and tires for the EX that i kept when i sold it..

last nite i tripled what i had in the front and nearly tripled what i had in the rear

i'll finish off the last rear tonite and take some pics of them!!

just need ice now!!

KUTZ

Tripled?...how many screws do you have in each tire, it gets to a point where to many start to loose the effect

TILLER

the front had 2 in each rib down the center and 1 in each middle rim

i had no steering control

this year every **** has at least 1 stud in it so i should have some steering this year

and the rears had 2 studs down the center 2 ***** and that was it..


im just making sure every **** has at least 2 studs in for the winter

ps.. i didnt lose a single stud last year

pss .. my buddy had 1000 studs in EACH rear turf tamer last year and 750 in each front .. there was not a sole that could catch him and he turned like he was on pavement .. he even blasted a couple sleds on some straight drags

That sounds like my setup, I have (2) 1 1/2" cold kutter ice screws in each **** in the rear, i'm running a Chiy Shin (sp?) tire in the rear, it's like a turf tamer but completly flat on top with solid sidewalls able to run with 45psi which will help keep the studs planted then in the fron I'm using a pair of Kenda dominators havent really worked with the configuration yet but i got some good ideas

Just gotta keep them slots on the screws like this (=) (=) (=) and angle them a little on the outside

I'm also using knylon nuts on the inside of the tire.

Did you have any liner or slim in your tires? I'm hoping to get away without it to much extra rotating mass

TILLER

no slime
no nuts
no liner
screwed the studs in with a 1/4 socket for a drill and left it

as for keeping the lines straight in the studs .. it doesnt matter for my studs
mine have a conical cup cut into the top .. the whole top of the head is sharp

TILLER

heres a couple pics of the finished tires

SlitZ

looks fun to put your leg under those

KUTZ

thats what nerf nets are for buddy

TILLER

naaaa.. ive had studded quads before and only 1 had nerfs .. no problems..

ps the Z doesnt have nerfs .. let alone has it seen mud or snow yet.. gonna be tough to take her on the lake the first time

KUTZ

yeah but leaning into a ruff corner at 90 mph is a little differnt story then 5 mph wheelies.

TILLER

tops of 60 on my ex and no issues .. plus my main idea on the ice is whoooooooolies

KUTZ
