Those are awesome. They look like the came out of hell raiser. What did you use to stud the tires and and how well did they balance with all the extra weight?

my friend does carpentry, so he got some really small wood screws, they came 100 in a box i think, and i think we used three or four boxs lol, we put so many the glue gave out recently lol, with all 4 tires studded like this it went up on 2 wheels when you turned lol. he had one of the earlier novak 6.5 in his t4, and when he goosed the trigger on hard packed snow the truck catwalked til it fliped, breakin the raer off his body lol. on ice there were too many screws to get good traction
it was like using regular tires on ice lol, it just left small ruts in the ice and the fronts wouldn't grip so he'd slide into the bords at the icerink lol. he learned later from some ice racers that you need less screws lol
