<p>A gazillion years ago (before the invention of dirt) I wanted to
put studded snow tires on my daily driver MGA. (I lived in
Massachusetts then.) Tire stores were not allowed to sell studded
snow tires. But they could sell snow tires and a package of studs
for the DIY'er to install. The tires had a series of holes molded
into the tread. The package of studs - they looked like solid
rivets - came with an installation tool sort of like a screwdriver
handle. Put the stud into the end of the tool, press the head of
the stud into the holes molded into the tread and push until they
were seated. It was a lot of work but I was young and hearty. As I
recall, the studs had to be installed before the tires were driven
on - I assume that otherwise the holes might get filled with dirt
(a new invention) preventing the studs from being fully seated. <br>
