Got these to fill in the holes of the 45NRTH XL concave studs on Wrathchild 27.5 Plus studded tires. So far so good. While they are smaller than the XL concave studs – the height is similar. Used a security torx bit that I magnetized as an insertion tool and used Isopropyl Alcohol applied with a small syringe as lube as recommended by 45NRTH. Been out on some off camber glare ice and really no drama – just grips.

I bought a pack of 250 of these studs to replace some Terrene concave studs in a Wazia tire. The FBC hex studs are substantially bigger in the tip area and fit perfectly in the tire. The FBC studs are obviously more aggressive. Good value, good function. Exactly what I wanted.

I replaced the 2 centre rows of original studs in 2 sets of Dillinger 5 tires with these after the 45NRTH ones had worn flat. They are a little taller and more aggressive and I think they give better traction on ice than the originals. The originals lasted for 5 seasons and time will tell if these do as well. I used a spray bottle of soapy water to lube the sockets and they popped in just fine, took about an hour per tire to remove the old ones, and insert the new ones. When I eventually replace the tires I think I will buy unstudded and put these in the two centre rows and 45NRTH XL’s or Terrene triple traction studs in the outside rows.

These are incredible, like velcro for icy trails. My first order was short a pack of studs, but FBC was quick to fix it and sent the missing pack immediately.
Easy to install with the tool and some rubbing alcohol in a spray bottle.
I’ve had a few studs pull out on roots sticking out of the snow. I don’t think these specific studs are to blame since the base is pretty much identical to previous worn-out studs. It’s likely that the stud holes were a bit worn out after removing the old ones.
My advice is to use rubbing alcohol to remove your old studs and minimize damage to the rubber. Buy a few extra studs, and replace them as needed with a spot of vulcanising cement.
