Before any of you fggts say it, I know what im getting into on this one but I figured id throw it out there anyhow. I have a pair or Nokian’s used for one season in great shape, obviously no one want to stud a used tire, regardless of whether I go through every hole with a pick or not. Simple question, anyone know of a ballsy local tire shop or maybe someone private that would be willing to do it, I know the equipment isnt cheap ?

its just a gun that shoots them in, a lot of places should have one.
I did it to some winterforces back in the day, hairy burnouts caused me to lose over half of the studs by the end of the winter… for that reason alone i wouldnt do it again

I’m pretty sure you can’t do it without a stud gun.

That’s interesting, I never lost more than a couple of studs on my nokians on my e30’s. Probably was all the excessive camber from the semi trailing arm suspension. Right?

No one will (or at least shouldn’t) touch them if they’ve been mounted and touched the road, myself included. I’ve got access, but I won’t either.

There are more than one type of stud, you could always use a slightly shorter stud if it is available. I think people fail to realize that a kid making $8 bucks an hour doesnt give a shit and a lot of the time half the studs are half out if you are studding tires that aren’t pre-studded. I say do it, I will text you with where to go.

Thanks Jeremy, its already done though. Bought new pre studded, and am selling the old set at no loss. Good info for others though.
