Can anyone tell me if you can insert the studs into a studdable tire (with
or without a tool?
I'me thinking particularly of Nokian, probably Hakkapeliitta 2 or Nordman
1.
If a tool is required, is there a tool that can be purchased at the consumer
level?
Thanks
Gerry |

I've only ever heard of tires being studded at the tire shop, they also
won't do it to used tires for safety reasons or some such.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ --> |

DIY stud kits exist for boots, I don't know about tires, the forces are
a little bit different in size.
You should only stud new tires. Sand and dirt collects into the holes
and the studs don't stay very well in old tires.

Yes, on new tires. The tool came with the studs I bought. I think I
got everything from J.C. Whitney. The tool was a very simple tube
shaped gadget. I remember loosing 90% of the skin on the heel of my
right hand. It is best to take your time and wear gloves. Not a
trivial task. It is strictly a brute force physical task. Studs are
illegal in PA and many other states. They tear up the road but work
great on ice. Are no help at all on snow.

Basically, the studs only help on glare ice. On dry pavement, the studs
don't degrade performance, but are very noisy. They tear up the
pavement very quickly. That is the reason they are banned in many
states. On snow pack and packed snow, dedicated snow tires work the
best. Studs don't help very much.
