Each is a time investment of nearly 2 hrs so use a new tire with hard compound squarish knobs. Go to a local hardware store like Davies and size up the screw that sticks through only 1/8 to 3/16" for trail, less for roads.
These are my benchmark pair -they arent for roads or leafy trails:

From the links:
"27" road tires to cover screw heads inside other tires"
Cut the bead out of a road tire, the carcass is the liner. _________________ Pedal, b*tches!! |

You know, I was thinking about studded tires when I was riding JH Tuesday night. I have seen pics of screws, looks very time consuming, has any one ever considered pop rivets? If I make a set, that is how I will do it. You can even get rivets with an extra large washer end, that would help displace the force on the inner tube. _________________ Bob |

I did an experiment and used a UST tire screwed the screws in and put stans in and it held. No leaks and worked really well _________________ Everyone is entitled to be stupid, but some abuse the privilege.

Hey Mike if I come down in January you think you could possibly experiment on two sets of studded tires so we can both ride?? _________________ Tree's don't move |
