Polished Surface Tungsten Carbide Core Anti-Slip Tire Studs
Anti-slip studs with a polished carbide core, where the contact finish is the specification.
Design and Construction
Anti-slip tyre studs with a polished tungsten carbide core. The polish is applied to the carbide contact face itself, not just to the body, giving a smooth, low-drag entry into ice and snow.
How It Works
A polished carbide face enters ice with less drag and sheds packed snow more readily; a blasted face holds a thin snow layer and bites differently. Surface finish on the core is therefore a grip variable, not only a cosmetic one.
Applications
Ice-road tyres, compacted-snow routes, anti-slip footwear-style studs, winter service tyres.
Field Cases
- Ice route: polished cores shed packed snow between contacts.
- Service fleet: consistent entry feel across a studded set.
- Winter test: polished and blasted cores were compared on the same casing.
Performance Data
| Metric | Value / Observation |
|---|---|
| Core | Tungsten carbide, polished face |

Suitable Materials
Winter tyres and anti-slip applications on ice and compacted snow.
Material Comparison: Core Face Finish: Polished vs Blasted vs Coated
Core surface finish as a grip variable. Typical industry comparison:
| Factor | Polished Core (this stud) | Blasted Core | Coated Core |
|---|---|---|---|
| Drag entering ice | Lowest | Moderate | Low |
| Snow shedding | Best | Moderate | Good |
| Initial bite | Smooth | Slightly sharper | Smooth |
| Wear of the finish | Slow | Slow | Coating may wear |
| Appearance | Bright | Matt | Colour layer |
| Best surface | Packed snow / ice | Hard ice | Mixed winter roads |
Delivery Scope
Bulk studs; core finish, dimensions and quantity confirmed with the order.
Why Choose VPOINT
The polish is specified on the carbide contact face, where it changes the grip behaviour.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the polish only cosmetic?
No – it is applied to the carbide contact face and changes drag and snow shedding.
Which surface benefits most?
Packed snow and ice, where low-drag entry and clean shedding help.
How does it compare with a blasted core?
Blasted feels slightly sharper on hard ice; polished sheds snow better.
Can the finish wear?
Polished carbide wears slowly; a colour coating may wear sooner.
What is checked?
Core face finish, seating and dimensions per lot.
