    no these are bought with the studs installed. these tires are made by mitas, using the old trelleborg molds. they are the "winter friction" model.

    With the ice studs or screws in it's impossible to fall on the street. The bike is more stable than being on the dirt. Don't sit in the house hugging the woodstove while on the computer get those ice screws/studs in and go for a ride.

    Is there any good pics on how the Swedish military skis are made? Is there any for sale in the us?

    ice studs or screws on pavement stable? like riding on ball bearings and if you lock brakes will slide like crazy....even in a rock garden in woods is "sketchy"

    you sure you ever rode on spikes?

    im thinking spikes would be like riding on oil on glass.....totally off topic, saw some hoons with an old Mitsubishi sedan (front wheel drive) slip some mcDonalds foodtrays under the back wheels, lock the hand brake and a "driftin" they did go...slippery those macca trays ( this was 20 years ago or so before the driftin craze hit)

    they grip awesome on ice or hard pack snow..they work well on frozen dirt too....bare pavement would likely be very sketchy as theres no penetration.
    but yes on the surfaces the studs are made for, they are super stable and the front end has so much bite your arms hurt.

    following that logic when you have 100 and you get one more you will have 101:lol:
