I was a little concerned about your new studs being longer than the ones that came out but after thinking it over I went that way too. I pulled one of my old ones out so that I could measure what was in there and ordered new ones and went with a little longer stud like you did. The stud that I pulled out looked a little short for the hole so I went with the next size up. They stick up a little bit but work great. I spent a little extra dough and bought some more expensive ones made in Australia. I think that they will wear a little better which means lasting longer. I appreciate this video and your technique for taking them out and putting them back in. This worked perfectly! I used a spray bottle with water and some dish soap as that is a little more slippery than windex which also worked great. Thanks for the video. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I'm so glad to see this video I kept asking my local tire guys if I could but some studs to replace them . They said it cant be done . I knew it could be . Watching this video I feel better.. Thank you. Oh them Goodyear duratrac Are the best on ice roads . I live northern Montana 🌲🤠🌲👍🌲🇺🇸
@@ajjenga4316 Thank you It's interesting for sure I started out not knowing anything years later I learned my gut feeling On this hasn't changed. I asked all over I knew there must be a way . My next question is Would a gauge work to measure how much tire worn Since new. And do they make different lengths of studs . I have Goodyear duratrack Two with studs on all my trucks . But there worn out a few are flush with the tire . What are your thoughts on doing it right.. Thanks 🌲🤠🌲👍🌲🇺🇸
Measure the depth of the holes for the studs. All studs have measurements for length and width. I cut some of the stud off with a hack saw if the tire was worn too much and I didn't see any shorter studs for sale.
Because your not supposed to, because the studs will be too long. Also it pulls out the holes. That's why he puts them in with pliers in the video, it wouldn't be possible on fresh tires. Stud gun would be needed. There is a probability these will eject themselves... Yes, with something like a Duratrac which takes a #16 stud, you could put in #13's at 1/2 tread and possibly get away with it... But the stud sticking out like it is in the video is not correct
@@mattdudley3789 Thank you for that info I'm going to look up #13 Maybe order a pack and compare it old one .. The tire shop here wanted $2,700 for new tires . I cant aford that on Disabled.. Thanks again
@@jamesalton1469 So what now do ya think? Canada is a Communist country of 38 million idiots. Justin Trudeau is Chinese by birth and works for China Communist Party.
I was considering replacing a few studs on my tires because they are damaged or sheared however based on what I have learned he is using studs that are too tall. There are websites out there that talk about what the right size is and the studs are designed to wear down as the rubber wears down.
They look a lot longer than the ones that came out but I appreciate this video in that the technique looks to be solid. I’m going to use a spray bottle with dish soap as that is a little more slippery than windex.
If you run your hand over the tire you should not be able to feel tire studs. The studs 'peek' out when the tire flexes... it's no wonder your studs got worn out so fast ;)
I just looked online. I've seen them priced from $7 to $80 for 100. I got these from Wish in China for $7 per 100. I ordered 400. for 4 tires. They're all basically the same. It's just some people mark the price up 10 or 20 times. They all come from China, so if you order directly from China, you're not paying the middle man and the wholesalers and the retailer. You don't pay tax from China either.
@@JohnWRathwell thank you very much sir you helped me out greatly! And I checked my local laws for upstate new york and were allowed studded snow tires from October to April
There's no link. These studs are unbranded. All I did was google tire studs. You'll get dozens of sources. Through Amazon many Chinese companies sell them. There are no part numbers to look for.
You can buy tires already studded, or stud them yourself and save $50 or more. They're only legal in some areas. You have to check with your police department. I'm in northern Canada where they are legal from October to April.
Spikes aren't going to clear anything, no matter what pattern they are in. That applies to tire tread as the trenches in the treads, push water from the center of the trench, towards the outer part of the tire as it rolls forward. That's why it's so important that the v shape in tires always faces like an arrow towards the front of the car when looking at the tires from the top.
It’s not very intelligent to re stud your tires. The tire studs are sticking out too far. The holes in the tires are wore out for holding the stud. You’re gonna be throwing studs out at cars behind you.

I measured the stud hole depth. It's only about 4 mm deep. The shortest studs I found are 6 mm

Hi John , would love to see more videos. Kind regards from Belgium.
Good tip, use loctite 480, it will hold stud in much better and longer
Miss your videos ~~~
Montana local tire shop won’t replace studs ! Everyone now a days just trying ti get you to buy new stuff
Thank you.
Thanks for sharing
I gotta order some quick my set of studded tires need some replaced and the snow is coming soon I’m sure
What company did u Order from please
Thanks!
Did you buy these on Amazon? Can you link to which ones you bought? Thanks for the video!
I got them from Wish in China.
Just me? or they really are sticking out too much.
Way too much! They wont stay in very long
They look a lot longer than the ones that came out but I appreciate this video in that the technique looks to be solid. I’m going to use a spray bottle with dish soap as that is a little more slippery than windex.

They look like they are going in too easy!
I can't seeing them staying in once you get on pavement!
Was there a website you used to get the studs?
I just looked online. I've seen them priced from $7 to $80 for 100. I got these from Wish in China for $7 per 100. I ordered 400. for 4 tires. They're all basically the same.

@@JohnWRathwell thank you very much sir you helped me out greatly! And I checked my local laws for upstate new york and were allowed studded snow tires from October to April
WISH site in China.
Hey do you have a site where i can get studs like yours?
I bought them right from China at Wish for $7 per 100. 100 for each tire. There's a few online sellers directly from China.
@@JohnWRathwell could you please send the link for the studs you bought
There's no link. These studs are unbranded. All I did was google tire studs. You'll get dozens of sources. Through Amazon many Chinese companies sell them. There are no part numbers to look for.
Do they stay in after going on the road? Or what happens on dry pavement?
They can slide in the coil a bit. Plastic ties can keep them in place. I've never heard of them falling out when the 2 nuts are tightened together.

You ought to have traction after that.
very bad idea, they shouldn't stick out so much
I am having a hard time getting them in my tire while he does it so easily
. Use an ARROW PATTERN for maximum clearing
Ahhh so THAT'S what it's for; thank you!

What company did you order the studs?
I got them from the " Wish" site in China. I got 200 studs for around $20.
Nope
