• Switchback Assault 1.3 Maximum Stud Length =

• DO NOT INSTALL STUDS ON A 2.0"+ TRACK.
• Studs can be installed on the inner and outer track
rows. Studding the inside of the track is good for
improving traction and vehicle braking. Adding
studs to the outer rows is generally considered for
drivers who desire a high degree of traction, but
can sacrifice track durability. Studs placed on the
outer rows are more susceptible to being ripped
out of the track.
• Adding studs may require the use of longer, more
aggressive ski wear bars/carbides.
• A wear strip kit must be installed to protect the
tunnel and tunnel cooler when studs are installed.
