Continuing the discussion from [Anyone put on their ice tires yet?](http://ecmtb.net/t/anyone-put-on-their-ice-tires-yet/3592/15): > [@Anyone put on their ice tires yet?](https://ecmtb.net/t/anyone-put-on-their-ice-tires-yet/3592/15): > > I replaced all of my missing studs on Boxing Day and did a pavement ride to hopefully seat them. I rode Evil Birch in the snow last Saturday, but without studs. (Studded tires are on a different set of wheels.) What stud kit did you use? I’m thinking about getting this kit: [http://www.schwalbetires.com/node/4448](http://www.schwalbetires.com/node/4448) Evil Birch hey, how is that in the snow? ---

I used the same kit. Got it here along with some other stuff a while back: [http://www.bike-discount.de/en/buy/50-spare-spikes-for-all-schwalbe-spire-tires-67807?currency=5&delivery\_country=210](http://www.bike-discount.de/en/buy/50-spare-spikes-for-all-schwalbe-spire-tires-67807?currency=5&delivery_country=210). Takes a bit of effort to get them in, but there were no instructions and maybe I didn’t have the best technique. I’d never ridden Evil Birch before. The snow started just before I got there and was coming down quite hard. It made some of the steep and off camber granite sections a bit tricky, but I enjoyed it. Missed the turn back and ended up doing some of the hiking trails before I dug out my phone to have a look. ---

Goes in from inside out? Evil Birch is a fun trail with a good leg burner climb, but has some slick rock at the highway entrance. How was the bridge across the river? ---

No, they go in from the outside. This video is what I used as a guide: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YBLPJwbWbZE](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YBLPJwbWbZE). I probably had to replace about 25 or 30 and I ended up with a good size blister on my thumb. The bridge seemed fine. It was covered with snow so I walked it. Wasn’t up for a swim. ---

I picked up a set of used Suomi studded 2.1s, made by Nokian. They’re missing about a dozen studs. I wonder if this kit would work with them as well. The Nokian replacements are nearly double the price and don’t come with an install tool. ---

I just picked up a stud kit from Bikes Plus, its the Schwalbe one, comes with the tool, $30.
