Za Rulem experts have been testing tires for years and seem to know everything about it. Therefore, their advice should be followed. This time we are talking about how studded tires work.
Our observer Sergey Mishin noted the two most destructive regimes for spikes.
Malicious mode #1
This is intense acceleration on ice with slipping when the electronic traction control is turned off. During testing, our tire group was forced to run this way to determine lap times and assess handling on ice. But in ordinary life, drivers are not advised to do this. With a quick meeting of the spikes with ice, shock loads act on them, literally twisting the “carnations” out of the rubber.
Malicious mode #2
This is an emergency braking “to the ground” on dry or wet road surfaces at a positive temperature. Here too the thorns get winding blows. They are especially strong if the car has no ABS and the car is skidding. The wheel literally gnaws through the ice on the asphalt.
Conclusion
Do you want your tires to last as long as possible? When accelerating on ice, do not switch off the electronic assistants and try to avoid hard braking on asphalt that causes the studs to pop out of the rubber.
