Where did you put the studs between the rear tires? In the swingarm? How does that help traction? I'm confused.
har har har. Sorry, us California folk have to find some way to get in on the ice racing discussion.

c286 or whatever from cheng sheng is the hot ticket when it comes to ice racing. One stud per lug. about 400 per tire.

MX tires are a soft rubber. They will roll and not hold up well. I have about 480 in the back ONE tire and 350 in the front.
