I need spikes/studs for my motorcycle tyres, they look like this:


There is only really 1 company in the UK that supplies them and they charge an absolute fortune for them. I hear they are cheaper (a lot more common) in the northern lands however I do not even know what you would call them. So, can a bro from one of the aforementioned countries tell me either; what they are called or where to buy them (online). I would be much obliged. In return I will supply pictures of my motorcycle. (!)

This was very far from N900 and computers
But they are called "dubbar" or "dubb" (=singular) in sweden...
A tire with "dubbar" is called "dubbdäck" , you probably can get a whole tire for almost the same price as one without.

Try this Finnish website http://www.motorshop.fi/search.php?q=nastasarja translated by Google.

stud = nasta, studs = nastat
stud kit = nastasarja

Yes (jes in finnish {rofl}) these studs are importand while driving motorbike in winter time. Especially in front rear. I'm not really sure does they have to in back rear. Cause in cold time it is easier drive safely slower also.

You need both wheels, otherwise you will only be drifting
