How to put tire studs in tires？

When winter arrives and roads are covered with snow and ice, tire studs become an essential solution for improving traction and ensuring safe driving. Before installation, you must ensure that your tires are studdable winter tires. Check the tire sidewall for markings such as "Studdable" or similar labels indicating compatibility. You can also look for evenly spaced small holes on the tread surface. Please note: standard tires are not suitable for stud installation.

Once you've confirmed your tires are compatible, the next step is to choose the appropriate tire studs and specialized tools, such as a stud gun or manual installation tool. The selection of tire studs should be based on the size of the pre-molded holes in the tire, or according to the manufacturer's recommendations. JinXin offers a variety of stud sizes tailored to different tires. If you need assistance selecting the right studs, feel free to contact us for personalized advice.

During installation, use a professional stud insertion tool such as a stud gun or manual stud applicator. Place the tire on a stable work surface and clean the tread to ensure it is free of dust, gravel, or other debris. Insert each stud into the pre-molded holes using the tool, keeping it vertical and steady. The metal tip of the tire stud should protrude slightly above the tread surface to ensure effective contact with the road. Improper installation—too deep or too shallow—can cause studs to fall out or fail to provide the desired anti-slip effect.

Additionally, it's important to check local regulations regarding the use of studded tires. In some countries or regions, studded tires are only allowed during specific winter months. Be sure to review your area's traffic laws before proceeding with the installation.
