Studable Snow Tires
Studable snow tires are best reserved for places where there is lots of snow in the winter. That’s because they make an audible sound if used on dry roads. They are good, however, if used on ice, because they provide extra traction.
Studded winter tires are best for icy roads, as the traction on them is superb. If you live near the coast, then these studded tires are good for you. On wet and hard-packed snow, there is no question that studded tires are superior to other winter tires when it comes to driving. However, if you appreciate quiet snow tires, then clearly studded tires are not for you.
Putting on Studs
1. First, you need to acquire snow tires with holes that have been pre-drilled for studs, and you need to have the right size of studs for the purpose. Using an incorrect stud will simply be ineffective and cause it to dislodge itself.
2. You will also need a stud gun to place the studs into the snow tire.
3. The studs are loaded into a basket that is detachable, after which it has to be loaded into the chamber of the gun by hand. Supplying air into the chamber of the gun is done by hand, and you have to do this periodically because only a certain number of studs can be accommodated.
4. There are adjoining tips at the tip of the gun that are adjoining, and you have to insert these at the holes of the snow tires and then pull the trigger.
If you commit a mistake in doing this, you can easily remove the stud and try again. As always, it is easier to have a professional do this for you.
