Arctic stud concept
The Nokian Tyres’ new Arctic stud concept consists of completely new stud model and body material, improving durability in heavy use and tough winter conditions. The anchor stud has a new bottom flange shape and a star-shaped hard metal pin. The stud body is made of stainless steel, which improves durability in demanding use as the stud will not rust. In addition to the new material, the new studs are oriented into the stud hole using the new bottom flange. The new studs are longer compared to the previous model, which means it will take longer for the studs to wear out. The stainless steel studs are corrosion resistant, so the tire is able to withstand salted road conditions longer. While optimizing the top of line winter grip and handling properties, it also keeps the appearance stylish.
