Pre-Sharpened Ice Racing Studs (Bolts) - 100 pack
Just add tires and windshield adhesive and go racing.
These bolts are meant for use with many ice racing organizations in their "spec stud” class. Specs:
M8x1.25 bolts (metric equivalent to 5/16”)
1.25” long
Class 10.9 (metric equivalent to grade 8)
Each bolt comes with a washer and nylon insert locknut for the outside of the tire.
Flange head bolt doesn’t require a washer on the inside.
Figure out how many studs you’re allowed according to your organization’s rules
Pick out a tire with well-defined tread blocks; it’ll make creating a pattern easier
Drill 3/16” holes from outside in for each stud
Put a dab of urethane windshield adhesive on the end of a stud and use a drill/impact to push it through
Put a small bead of adhesive all around the outside of the bolt where it comes out of the tire
Add washer and tighten nut. The washer should squish the tread pretty well on the outside; it should feel pretty darn tight
There are a lot of factors to consider when choosing a tire for ice racing. We believe the ideal tire has a stiff sidewall, has minimal tread to not eat up bolt length, and isn’t dry rotting. Something less than 5 years old is ideal. Stay away from racing slicks and non-DOT tires, as they will crack at cold temperatures. Ask us how we know…
