Tire Stud Installation Guide

{"default":"Measuring tire tread depth with a tread depth gauge before installing carbide ice studs"}

Step 1: Measuring depth & Prepare Tools

Attach the installation tool to a variable-speed power drill.
(Do not use an impact driver.)
Insert a stud into the tip of the tool with the auger end facing outward.

Step 2: Install the Stud

Press the auger tip of the stud firmly against a thick rubber knob on the tire.
Apply straight, firm pressure while slowly rotating the drill.
Continue until the prongs on the tool are fully embedded in the rubber.
Ensure the notched collar of the stud sits flush with the tire surface.
(Improper depth may cause the stud to fall out during use.)

Step 3: Repeat and Finish

Detach the tool from the stud.
Repeat the process for the remaining studs.
For optimal traction, install studs in a staggered pattern (not in a straight line) to ensure better ground contact.

⚠️ Important Notes

Do not over-tighten after installation.
Over-rotation may damage the tire and affect stud stability.
Improper positioning or depth may cause the stud to loosen and fall out during use.

For best results, always remember:

🔁 Rotate slowly during installation
🔽 Apply straight downward pressure to fully seat the stud in the rubber
