Abstract

The author reports that on icy roads or snow the studded tyres provide some observable, though slight, safety advantages over other tyres in terms of accident precipitation, vehicle behaviour in emergency situations, and driver injury. Results reflecting sliding accident rates, when corrected for extraneous effects, showed studded tyres to have a mild advantage over snow tires on snowy or icy roads during the winter months.
