Both alternatives are wear-resistant and have superb driving qualities. By knowing their special characteristics, you can choose the type of tyre that best matches your needs. Studded tyres are especially suitable if you live near the coast, where roads tend to be icy during the winter. Friction tyres are a good choice for snowy roads.
Studded tyres are superior to friction tyres on wet ice and hard-packed snow.
Friction tyres that have been unevenly worn by coarse spring roads are no match for good summer tyres. Therefore we do not recommend the use of friction tyres as all-season tyres. Summer tyres are the safest and most economic choice for summer driving.
