    I have a spare stock tire and rim that i studded up. You dont need too many up front, I think i did 2 per knob for the 3 inner rows, and one for the rest of them towards the outside, more than enough traction.

    what size studs did you use. i am running a front max tire with out studs right now. but i will get a new front just for studs. that way i have tires for ice and regular riding.

    so what tire out right now and available will hold 1/2 studs good?

    thanks
