• Winter tyres are available as both studded and non-studded. The 
studded tyres are the original winter tyres, which is why many 
older people see them as the only real alternative. The 
development has however gone forward and the non-studded tyres 
are nowadays as good as the studded on snow and it is only on ice 
that the studded have slightly better performance. So if you live in 
areas that have a lot of ice during the winter season, then the 
studded might be a better option. This can often be the case if 
you live in costal areas or next to very big lakes that tend to have 
more icy conditions.

• If you are not so bother with icy conditions, then you will be fine with 
non-studded tyres that have the advantage that they are allowed in 
all the countries and have fewer restrictions. If you travel between 
different countries you don’t have to worry as they can be used in all 
countries without limitation. This does not however make them ideal 
for summer use. These are tyres intended for winter use and should 
be used in combination with a set of summer tyres. These tyres will 
perform better than summer tyres when the temperatures drop 
below zero degrees Celsius. So you should change to the studded tyres 
as soon as the temperatures start dropping and then change to 
summer tyres when the winter weather has passed for good.

• The non-studded tyres uses unique tread design to create 
mechanical traction but will also often incorporate some grip 
particles like cryo-crystals to enhance the traction. This will help 
to provide good grip on both snow and ice. Another important 
feature about the tyres is that the tyres will need to be able to 
prevent slushplaning, so that the grooves can push away the water 
mixed snow, so that the tyres don’t lose contact with the road 
surface. Slushplaning is similar to aquaplaning that happens during 
wet conditions.
