  • Enhanced Stud Retention – A specialized coating process strengthens the bond between the stud and tire, providing 4x greater durability and 5% more ice traction

  • Crushed Ice Reservoirs – Strategically designed reservoirs around each stud optimize ice displacement, improving braking efficiency and ensuring consistent road contact in extreme winter conditions
