Buy studded tyres

Studded tyres are reserved for the most extreme weather conditions. If you drive in very harsh climatic regions, on icy and heavily snow-covered roads, we recommend equipping yourself with studded tyres (provided that the legislation allows it).

What is a studdable tyre?

Before talking about studded tyres themselves, it is essential to understand what a studdable tyre is. It is a type of winter tyre specifically designed to allow the addition of small metal studs.
These tyres have pre-designated spots to accommodate studs.
The main objective of these tyres is to improve traction on ice and provide better grip during severe winter conditions.

What is a studded tyre?

Now, let's focus on the studded tyre itself. A studded tyre is a winter tyre that has studs inserted into specially designed spots.
These studs can be made of steel or a tungsten carbide alloy for increased durability. Ideal for maintaining optimal traction in pure ice conditions, studded tyres are highly effective in preventing skids and ensuring a safe driving experience. Thanks to the studs, the vehicle can tackle extreme winter weather conditions.

Are studded tyres worth it?

The question of whether studded tyres are worth the investment depends on several factors.
For those living in regions where winter means icy roads and high-risk driving, studded tyres can be considered essential. They offer peace of mind and increased safety, reducing the likelihood of skids and accidents.
However, if you live in an area where winter conditions are less extreme, traditional winter tyres might be sufficient for safe driving.
The perceived value of studded tyres is therefore directly related to the severity of the winter conditions you are exposed to.

The most sought-after studded tyre sizes:

What is the longevity of studded tyres?

Knowing the exact longevity of studded tyres is an impossible task. Their lifespan depends on several factors, including the condition of snowy roads, weather conditions, driving style, maintenance, and frequency of use...

Generally speaking, after 5 years of use, the tyres should be thoroughly inspected by a professional. As a precaution, it is advisable not to exceed 10 years of use, even if your tyres still appear usable. Your safety is at stake!

How much does it cost to stud tyres?

The cost of equipping with studded tyres varies depending on several factors. Firstly, there is the purchase price of the tyres themselves, which is generally higher than that of standard tyres due to the advanced technology required for their manufacture.

Then comes the cost of the studs and installation. Some garages offer stud installation services, but purchasing a studding kit to do the installation yourself can be a more economical option.

You also need to consider the durability of studded tyres; well-maintained, they can last several seasons, which can improve the return on investment.

When calculating the total cost, don't forget to consider the safety benefit and the possibility of avoiding additional costs caused by a winter accident. An initial investment could save you much higher costs in the long run.

How to remove studs from a studded tyre?

Removing studs requires an operation as meticulous as their installation. For this, you will need a stud extractor or pliers. Each stud must be pulled straight out of the tyre to avoid damaging the cavity.
If you wish to remove the studs at the end of the season to continue using your tyres in milder conditions, be aware that this operation may slightly alter the properties of the tyres.

Can a studded tyre be used all year round?

No, the use of studded tyres is limited during the winter months in many countries to prevent road damage.

Is there a regulation on the use of studded tyres depending on the region?

Yes, some regions or countries limit or prohibit the use of studded tyres. It is very important to check local regulations.
