tractor supply, 5/8 elavator bolt,washer inside and out go 2 or 3 nuts high and weld the nut to bolt on the end after you cut it off flush with top nut. i done a bunch of them that way.nothing special for the tube babe powder.

Thanks, I was wondering how they where done?

Use a carriage with a washer big enough for the square to go through the washer more than 3 nuts tend to bend alot easier , silicone the inside of the tire can't use to much silicone, baby powder the crap out of it and let er eat oh and you want a really big waher on the inside so the bolts wont pull through.

and one more thing if the tire is warm it will make it easier to drill.

Prob need to drill the hole a couple sizes smaller than your bolt.I use 1/2 inch bolts but drill the holes 3/8.

You may be able to use a track cutting tool used to stud snowmobile tracks. It cuts the time by 1/2 if not better working on sleds. Don't see why I couldn't work on tires.
