Tire studs are an essential component for improving driving safety in winter conditions. On icy and snowy roads, they significantly increase tire traction, ensuring safer vehicle operation. But at what temperature do tire studs perform at their best?
According to multiple winter road tests and user feedback, tyre studs are most effective at temperatures below -7°C (about 19°F). At this point, road surfaces are not only frozen but also hard and slick, where regular winter tyres lose much of their grip and slipping becomes common. This is exactly when tyre studs show their value.
In such cold environments, the stud core can firmly grip into the ice, enhancing mechanical traction and significantly improving braking performance and cornering stability, while reducing the risk of skidding.
When temperatures rise above 0°C, especially beyond 5°C, snow and ice begin to melt. Roads become slushy and partially wet, where studded tyres may damage the pavement and decrease ride comfort due to vibration and increased noise. Additionally, some countries and regions have strict laws governing the usage periods and conditions for studded tyres, so drivers should always check local regulations before installation.
As a professional manufacturer of tungsten carbide tyre studs, Jinxin designs its products specifically for extreme cold environments. Even in temperatures below -30°C, our studs maintain exceptional anti-slip performance and structural durability. Jinxin tyre studs are widely used in harsh winter regions such as Russia, Northern Europe, and Canada.
Whether for cars, motorcycles, snowmobiles, or ATV/UTV off-road vehicles, Jinxin provides fully customizable stud solutions to keep you safe throughout the winter season.
