Abstract

An investigation has been carried out in order to find out if drivers of vehicles with studded tyres are making use of an eventually increased coefficient of friction at icy road condition to maintain a higher speed or to drive at a higher level of safety than drivers with unstudded tyres. The results show only slight differences and show that drivers use a safety measure introduced mainly in the way it is intended-not far other purposes like comfort, speed, etc.
