Why are studded tyres safer?

• Studs reduce the braking distance on ice
• Studs improve the handling on slippery surfaces => friction improvement
• Studs roughen the ice and provide a better grip for the rubber and tread, especially for a tyre without studs
• Studs extend critical handling limits
  => Lateral slip can mean loss of control
  => Side forces are very important
• Studs reduce the risk of the car spinning around
