Hi all,

I am getting prepared for the winter and want to get some snow studs for the KTM. I have had a look around on the internet and all I can find are studs from the USA.

I have measured the knobbles on my tyres and they are 10mm. I am looking for the self tapping screw type as I don't want to faff around taking the tyres off to fit the studs.

Anyone have any ldea's where to get them from?

Thanks all,
Damon

We use those at work, which we buy in bulk from Wurth.

I'll have a look tomorrow and see what the part number is; gotta be cheaper to buy them from a supplier like that, rather than somebody that's trying to be a specialist.

One thing I will say though, is that they would be lethal on tarmac, probably more dangerous than riding on ice and snow without them.

Do that to the tyre on a road going bike and you will either spit out all the machine screws or crash.

I always thought that they were bolted through the tread not screwed.
