Step 1What you need
A rivet tool.
An awl, or sharp poking thing (not a drill or blade).
A knife if you want to slice off tread blocks (not pictured)
Some steel pop rivets, long enough to reach through the washer and tread. The ones I used were 1/8" capacity, for a pretty ordinary cross tire. If you have very deep tread or puncture resistance layers in your tire you might need longer ones. I wound up using 33 rivets in my rear tire and 90 in the front.
Washers just big enough to fit over the rivet body--some are usually sold alongside the rivets.
Some cyclocross tires (not pictured) -- I got some off the used rack at my local bike shop. You want tires with some good tread to propel you in snow -- the rivets will help with ice and strong hardpack..
