any tire really works. just put 1-2 studs per lug if u can.. works good on stcok tires. or turf tamers are the best. any studs will work..

try to get 5/8 studs... my buddy put 1/2 in his stock yfz tires and alot of them ripped out.. he claims its because of all the power... i say because he needs more threads.. lol
the stock tires are soft.. so you NEED the extra 5/8... and they dont cost that much more.

no.. the lengh is just the treads. it doesnt really matter how much tread you got on your fronts... they arent under power so they will be fine.. you want the screws to got a good part of teh way thru the rear.. most of mine go all the way thru.. they dont leak... you also need to think.. the tread may not be that big.. but the tire might also be like 1/8 to 3/16 thick.

Soft compound tires like Turf Tamers and ITP Holeshots are horrible for studding. The rubber is so soft that the studs pull out very easily. The best tire for studding is the Cheng Shin C826 18x9.5-8

This is per Daryl Rath, the King of Ice Racing.
