7-10mm Zinc Plated Tire Studs with Carbide Non-Slip Core
Zinc-plated studs in 7-10mm lengths, with grip behaviour described by the surface under the tyre.
Design and Construction
Zinc-plated tyre studs in 7 to 10mm lengths with a tungsten carbide non-slip core. The plating protects the body; the carbide core is the contact point. The length band covers the common tread depths found on winter car tyres.
How It Works
Grip comes from different mechanisms on different surfaces: the carbide tip indents hard ice, edges catch compacted snow, and on wet asphalt the stud mainly displaces the water film. One stud cannot be optimised for all three, so the surface determines the expectation.
Applications
Winter car tyres, mixed winter routes, icy urban roads, compacted snow and slush.
Field Cases
- Urban fleet: consistent results on icy intersections with wet patches.
- Northern route: compacted-snow grip held where ice and slush alternated.
- Service tyres: the 7-10mm band covered the casing range in one order.

Material Comparison: Grip Mechanism by Surface: Ice vs Packed Snow vs Wet Asphalt
What the stud actually does on each surface. Typical industry analysis:
| Factor | Hard Ice | Compacted Snow | Wet Asphalt |
|---|---|---|---|
| Primary action | Indentation by carbide tip | Edges catch the snow | Displaces the water film |
| Benefit from a sharp tip | Highest | Moderate | Lowest |
| Benefit from protrusion | Highest | Moderate | Lowest |
| Wear rate on the stud | Low | Low | Higher on abrasive asphalt |
| Noise contribution | Low | Moderate | Highest |
| Best expectation | Strong ice bite | Predictable snow grip | Improved wet braking |
Delivery Scope
Bulk studs; length selection within 7-10mm and quantity confirmed with the order.
Why Choose VPOINT
Grip is explained by surface mechanism, so the expectation matches the road.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does one stud grip all surfaces the same way?
No – it indents ice, catches packed snow and displaces water on wet asphalt.
Which length should I choose?
Match the 7-10mm band to your tread depth.
Why zinc plating?
It protects the metal body from road salt and moisture.
Is asphalt hard on studs?
Yes – abrasive asphalt wears the stud and body faster than ice.
What is checked?
Length, plating coverage and carbide seating per lot.
