Winter tire studding systems: GoodyearRecent Research Landscape

Metal studs damage road surfaces and lack retention in high-traction treads, necessitating polymer-based anchoring systems for pneumatic winter tires.

What technical problems is Goodyear addressing in Winter tire studding systems?

Stud retention failure

(3)evidences

Conventional tire studs frequently dislodge from the tread during operation due to insufficient mechanical anchoring between the stud body and the surrounding rubber matrix.

Polymer body degradation

(4)evidences

Standard tire studs often suffer from insufficient surface penetration and structural degradation under extreme winter conditions.
