To put new studs in studded tires, first ensure the tire is properly deflated and securely mounted on a tire changing machine or a stable surface. Use a stud insertion tool to place the studs into the designated holes, applying even pressure to ensure they are seated correctly. Once all studs are in place, check their depth and alignment, then re-inflate the tire to the recommended pressure. Finally, inspect the tire for any visible damage before reinstalling it on the vehicle.
