what kind of studs are those

Icy ones :D the spikes are 20mm on rear and 15mm on front, This is Craig Jones and his Ice speed record of 148mph on the ice, with an 1125R and a small shot of N2O. Also the CR is one of his stunt bikes.

Great Idea but studs are illegal in MI[sad]

Otherwise I would be all over it with heated jacket, pants, socks, gloves, grips and a thick ass neck guard I would be set.

So i could stud my tires, Im up in da yoop

Question: Are studded tires legal in Michigan ?

Answer: Yes, with certain restrictions. MCL 257.710 allows for the use of studded tires if they meet the specifications listed in subparts (c), (d), and (e). The part that specifically deals with studded tires is subpart (d) which states; "The department of state highways and transportation shall promulgate rules establishing acceptable standards to permit the use of a tire with studs or other traction devices to be used on a street or highway after April 1, 1975. The rules shall make separate provision for the extreme winter snow and ice conditions of the Upper Peninsula and the Northern Lower Peninsula. The rules shall include a restriction on the amount and dimension of protrusions that may be allowed on a tire, the type of material that may be used in a stud, traction device, or tire, and the amount of road wear that a tire with studs or other traction devices may cause on a street or highway."

Administrative Rules 247.171 through 247.175 govern studded tires and set the criteria for their use.

These rules state two conditions that must be met for the use of studded tires. Note: to date no manufacturer of tire studs has supplied information to the Michigan Department of Transportation that their product meets or exceeds the required pavement wear specifications.

First, they can only be used between November 15 and April 1 of the succeeding year except in the Upper Peninsula and the Northern Lower Peninsula , where, because of extreme winter snow and ice conditions, they may be used between October 1 and May 1of the succeeding year. Northern Lower Peninsula is defined as those counties whose southern boundaries are as far or farther north than the southern boundary of Missaukee county.

Second, studs or other traction devices shall not be used unless they wear either concrete or asphalt pavements, typical of those in this state, at a rate not to exceed 25% of the reference standard studded tire.

That is awesome, how about someone fitting this on a 1125? It would be like a freaking snow blower with all that power! You would probably need a 3' wide tread to get any traction!

rwubbens, you asked if that thing banks at all? Unless you've been on the ice with studs you have no idea what leaning a bike over is! WAAAY more traction than sticky tires on pavement. Played a little with dirt bikes on the pond a bunch of years ago. Way to much fun! Wayne :)

yeah thats so his friend (unlucky guy) can put his feet on those, when Mr. Jones does a stoppie he puts his face and junk next to the studded tire and they pull off a two man stoppie on ice, looks fun, but i'll stick to my snowmobile lol
