I have a 1999 big foot with the 22X10 runamuk tires and plastic track. Has anyone ever drilled small holes thru the plastic tracks and screwed in s/steel bolts to increase traction on ice? I have to ride 3.5 km in the winter to get to my place and there is one hill that seems to like ice...and every time I get to this hill it becomes an arduous task to go over it. Thank you JCPaquin

Jean,,we have used motorcycle ice studs on our tracks we go from Route6x6, they are small but seem to really help, get them at any M/C shop, usually sold in a box of around 100 for 25$, you just drill a 1/8" home and screw studs in, help to have a electric drill or something
