Six words for ya...old tires and sheet metal screws. Works like a charm. Just be sure to put the screws through the lugs and cover the screw heads on the inside with duct tape. Tire liners are a good idea too. I'll try to get some pics of mine.

Those are sweet tires man, now post some pics in action!

[greyhair biker]

I know, I'll have to get some action pics...I messed up :ne_nau:
and the screw idea works great....sucks trying to ride on pavement. Screws make for a heavy tire as well with upwards of 250 to 300 per tire.
- can't tell I sell studded tires can you? :lol8:

It's all relative I guess. I've never thought it was that big a deal. Usually the snow that get packed into the frame from riding in it is a LOT heavier than the screws in the tires. Besides, you don't go biking in the snow to be fast, you go biking in the snow beacause it's fun and the guys on snowmobiles look at you funny and laugh at you. That and it makes you tough. I mostly do it for the looks though. :haha: :cool2:
