No I won't put studs in them. I used to work in a factory where we made studs and studding tools-I know the process. I will run the blizzaks as is next winter.

Little stones, sand, glass chips etc will not allow the studs to be installed properly. This can be quite time consuming, more so if you intend to run all 4. Not cleaning out the holes will result in problems ranging from studs falling out to punctures. I'll never do it again unless I get mint tires for free. Johnny B.
