Fun Saturday project
It's almost April 15th, and in PA that means it's the end of studded tire season. So today I got to pay the price for running free Zamboni take-offs, I had to pull my studs. Not too bad, only took about 2 hours and gave me 3 blisters. I'll take that for a free set of tires.

Only 4. I ran fronts a while back and found they would not hold up to the weight of the Cummins. The tires are Goodyear Workhorse "D" range in 215/85-16, the fronts got all tore up in about 10k. I'm running Hercules highway ribs up front for now.
If you have an ice rink local to you, find the maintenance man and buddy up. They have to replace the tires when the studs wear out or 3 studs in a row fall out, but the tires have never seen pavement so they are like new.
The place I get mine has to pay a tire disposal fee if I don't take them, so they are more than happy to let me have the tires instead. Move somewhere below the Arctic Circle.
Actually that's the first time I've been in shorts this year.Actually they look to be about .32 caliber - hmmm....
Anybody handloading .32 H&R Magnum want some cheap bullets?

How do you think they get new tires, without studs we would soon run out...
We are allowed to use them from Sept. 15'th to May 15'th, I have never run them but a few do, Our roads are pretty clear here in the interior because of the low humidity the wind will cause it to sublimate away fairly quick.
I bet they would make a nasty reload for shotguns...

I finally got it!!! Studs=NewTires. Man, I am so slow today.
wannadiesel: I did that with four 13in tires. Took all day and a twelve pack. You must have been drinking something better.
madhat: Glad you fessed up. I was going to mention the white stuff in your gallery photo.
