Hello,
You can by stud tires from Finland. There is various kind of studs for different surface and use but if you can describe what kind of surface you will be useing them I'm sure I can find set to you. All tires what we are useing studs are glued in.

Don't get caught on HM highways using studs, the law tends not to understand the need. Chains work and are 100% legal when there is an obvious need, but limit you to under 30 mph so have to come off when you hit the main roads.
I'd say studs if you are riding forrest roads where you can't/won't get a white Rangerover with a blue stripe, otherwise knobblies and chains. Andy

Where can you get bike snow-chains in the UK?
I looked into them briefly before my trip and gave up... then found myself really wishing I had them when trying to climb up a mountain road covered in snow in Kashmir!

PM HU member Indu. he has a guide for riding in the snow and ice at. Minutes of a Motorcycle Addict - A Guide to Winter Riding
But you may need to import your chains I cant seem to find any built or sold in the UK. Did find this MV Snow Claws Set and for Xtrem Driver - Snow Chains for Motorcycles - MV Motorrad Technik GmbH - Sonderzubehoer fuer Motorraeder or this motorangs Winterfahrer-Tips: Hubert Staudachers Schneeketten-Erzeugung Some options for you is using rope around the tyres or make your own or cut down a chain from a car tyre and use it.

The luggage strap version is thinner on the tyre wall, so has fewer issues with clearances. The car versions are better made. Pictures at the bottom of here: https://sites.google.com/site/threew...d-places/tyres Andy Last edited by Threewheelbonnie; 6 Apr 2009 at 17:02. Reason: add link

How did it go?
There is a huge variety of studds and they all have their place of optimal operation. It all comes down to where and how you are to use them, i.e. you specific requirements.
