Get ready for some stupid questions about tires from yours truly...
I like to run studded snows in the winter here in MA but I know that shops will only stud your tires if they are brand new, never driven on. From what I understand they won't re stud them down the line.
I have a set of really great 235/75/15 studded snows I run every winter, and while the tread is still like new, the studs are starting to get worn down.
Is there a reason you can't or shouldn't re stud them yourself? If it is possible and doesn't have negative consequences, where can you purchase studs and any tool needed to install them?
Even with 4 wheel drive I really like running the studded snows, in the past few years a lot of small towns I have to drive through have let a lot of ice accumulate on the roads and that's why I'm so concerned about the studs.
Thanks in advance
