1)never listen to one or two people telling you what to do,(know it alls).
2)Stud your sled based on its intended use and conditions you ride.
3)choose the correct length of stud, type, and pattern.
4)If you put studs on the outside of your windows it will be more difficult to turn and can shorten track life.
5)Carbides, the longer the better? There are many proven set ups for carbides. Match your carbide length to the number of studs you run. This can be a safety issue as far as over and understeer.
6)Tearouts can happen for a number of reasons, understudding, overstudding, wrong type of studs, placement, and wrong torqe spec.
7)Myth, the longer the carbide the faster the turn. This one shocked me. With the exception of ice, shorter carbides will hang a turn faster.
Hopefully this info will help others. I would have never thought of running 4 inch carbides before I did my research. The only catch to running 4's is you need to keep them sharp or replace them sooner then later.
