I think I can do this one... I watched another vide before this where the guy just put them in by hand with a pair of pliers, made it look simple and easy.... I am a bit of a bear and strong as an ox, I couldn't begin to get one in with pliers.. This guy was an old timer to boot, shaky hands, age spots and an elderly sounding voice. I got mad respect for his skills, he has me beat apparently.. Hammer and tube, I can handle that...
Just did wife's tires, was to lazy to go to shop to get tire lube so just put little olive oil in a dish with a layer of studs. Worked well. I could pick studs right out of dish with tube and would just dip very tip of needle nose in oil.
after a rough winter I was looking at new tires for next winter, mainly the General Grabber ATX, mainly because I noticed it was an A/T tire that can be studded, if I stud I would like to do it myself
I just bought a set of studded tires on marketplace and some studs are sticking out a bit or crooked. Could I use this method to reinstall with them still inflated or too much bounce?
I pulled a stud out and measured the base diameter, for mine they are 8 mm which appears to be a common size. They also have a height measurement as well, the height of my new ones will be 11 mm. I am willing to bet that 13 mm is the height not the base diameter. Just pull one of your old studs out with a small flat tip screw driver and measure the base diameter of it. Too small of a base in a bigger hole will be more likely to fall out and too big will be tough to potentially impossible to get in. I just 400 off Ebay for 29.12, should be here next week.
Yes new stud ready tire. Really was not that hard to do.Would be risky studded used tires, greater chance of flats. You can check with Walmart, I used to bring my tires there, but the Walmart near me stopped doing outside tires. Got studs off ebay and turned out the seller was like 4 miles from my house.
@7966016 they are made of soft metal and wair down, making them useless unless you buy the expensive ones with tungsten cores .they are prone to coming out aswell but if that is your only option, I'd buy the expensive ones with tungsten cores 👍
Very nice. You do it nearly as fast as the guy with the 400 dollar air tool. Thanks for sharing.

Gonna try this tomorrow thanks for the idea boss, I'll video how it turns out
Have you ever installed this way with the tire already mounted?
If she doesn't find you handsome she better at least find you handy!
Awesome video for years me and my friends have talked about studding our own tires. Going to do 195 75 15s what size stud do you think? Thanks.
Usually says stud size on tire or tire specs. Guess you could also measure depth of stud hole and use stud makers recommendation. Thanks for watching.
Gotta look that up. Where do you buy your studs.
@@cowbdave99 Bought those off ebay, turned out they came from 10 miles away. I would just shop the net.
Do you know if a 13 mm stud is the same as a # 13 stud.
not sure. think the stud number refers to the depth of the hole in 32nds of an inch.

Cant you put the tool in the drill?
They are not screw in studs.
Hi Any issues with studs falling out? Partially out?
NOT YET
What if not drilled? What size please?
Tires need to be studdable, means holes are cast in, and stud size is given by tire manufacture. I would not drill.
Wer those new tires? I'm planing on buying a new set thay have no option of coming with studs but thay are pre drilled for studs

Why not screw in type?
