If studded tires are left without some of the studs, then they need to be restored before the next season. To do this, you can buy new spikes and replace them with the lost ones. Everything can be done at home.
What you will need:
Rubber studding process
It is convenient to use a wooden stand to hold the tire.
It is necessary to remove the empty clips from the tires from the lost studs. They are pulled out with thin-nosed pliers. If the clip is sunk deep, it is pulled out with a screwdriver. At the same time, it is necessary to remove the pebbles stuck in the tread.
To install spikes, you need to select a tube with an outer diameter of no more than 12 mm and an inner diameter of at least 9 mm. It is clamped into the hammer drill chuck.
Then the stud seat on the tire must be sprayed with a soapy solution from a sprayer.
A new tenon is inserted into the tube.
After that, he leans against the seat at an angle, and the hammer starts. Next, you need to try, pressing it down onto the tire, to align the tube at a right angle.As a result, the spike will go into place.
In this way, one tire can be restored in 1-2 hours. By taking a day off, you can put your car on normal tires with good grip at almost no expense.
