Where can you buy spikes for tires?

[waqr]

I really would like to drive my FG Monster on the ice during wintertime so I wonder where I can buy spikes to put into my tires?

I plan to run the hell out of my truck in the snow,gonna go the screw route as well.

Ok....what kind of screws do you use and how do you put them into the tires? Anyone having pictures of homemade snowtires?

Most will install them in the tread top and use a sharp square head like these:

Ok...looks good but how do you put them in the tires? I assume you have to remove the tire from the rim and put the screws in from the inside and put the hex on the outside or am I wrong?

I have seen them either way. The picture above are the screws screwed in from the outside into the tread.

Doug is right. Self tapping screws. (The points/ends are different) I would pre-drill and then use a powerscrewdriver to screw them in. No need to remove the tires at all. The FG MT tires are very strong and the screws stay in pretty good. Once this is done you will see how much traction you get on snow and GRASS or DIRT!!!
