Studded tyres

Winter tyres

— winter tires equipped with studs.

Winter tires are designed for cold weather; most manufacturers recommend installing them when the average daily temperature drops below +7 °C. The studs are intended to improve traction on ice and packed snow; however, on asphalt and loose snow, such tires perform worse than non-studded ones.

Note that models "for studs" (see "Additional") are not included in this category.
