Tire Studs

[rneal55555]

I have a rear mount snowblower on my TYM T264 and I struggle to get up the hill in my driveway. I have a set of chains for the rear but am waiting for a set of wheel spacers to arrive so I can actually use them.

But I'm thinking studs might actually work instead of the chains.

Does anybody have ant experience with the studs and how did they work out?

I love mine. Haven't put chains on since. Back up some tough spots with rear mount blower. Did all four, steering is good as well.

I grooved my R4 tires with a tire groover and never installed the chains I spent $700 on.

I studded my R4's and have been happy. I added a second row on my fronts last year. Will probably add a second row on the rears this winter. Lots of ice so far.

I purchased these studded tire chains about 5 years ago and wish I'd had them from the beginning instead of the 2 link tire chain I ran for many years.

I have a road mix/gravel driveway.
