well you could get some large screws about 1 inch long and use them in like turf tamers or what not.

go to your local hardware store and buy some sheet metal screws, make note not the self tapping ones!! as they tend to drill a larger hole in the tire and make the screws not hold as tight. Also when your installing your screws into your tires, blow up the tires to where they are above normal operating pressure like 15-20psi and sink all your screws into your tires, then let out the pressure back to normal operating pressure. This will cause the tire to squeeze on the screws more and help them from ever falling out. I think about 200-300 screws in each tire in the back and 150-200 in the fronts should be good. what i bought were some 8 x 1/2inch screws for my shee, bout 5 bucks for a box of 100. You could also use 10 x 1/2inch or longer if your tire lugs are fairly tall!! Let me know how it goes!

I have stock 9" Honda wheels with Chen Shin C826 Tires. 20x11x9. As you can see in the picture the pattern that I used. That pattern is the best pattern for a 250R 3 or 4 wheeler. If you use anymore there is a problem of having too many studs where it is like almost riding on glare ice with no studs. I used a 7/8'' stud and they do not pull out or cause the tire to leak air. I have $200.00 in the rear tires. There isn't really a cheap way to do it. Some people try using self tappers or sheet metal screws but that doesn work really well and they fall out easy. More trouble than they are worth. Hope it is a help to ya. Luke
