Design and Construction

A two-part tyre stud: a zinc-coated body that stays seated in the tread, and a removable tungsten carbide core that takes the wear. The body is installed once; the core is the service item.

How It Works

Separating the seat from the wear part means a worn core is changed without disturbing the rubber hole. Repeated hole disturbance is what shortens the life of a press-in stud arrangement, so the two-part route keeps retention intact.

Applications

Seasonal fleets, high-mileage winter vehicles, service tyres, programmes with planned core replacement.

Field Cases

  • Fleet: worn cores were swapped at mid-season without re-studding the casings.
  • Service tyres: the seated bodies stayed intact across two core changes.
  • Winter programme: core stock was ordered separately from body stock.

Material Comparison: Removable Core vs Integral Stud vs Full Re-Studding

Service routes for a worn stud. Typical industry practice:

Factor Removable Core (this stud) Integral Stud Full Re-Studding
What is replaced Carbide core only Whole stud Whole stud, new hole
Rubber hole disturbed Once (at install) Each change Each change
Service time Shortest Moderate Longest
Retention over repeated changes Held Declines Declines
Parts inventory Bodies + cores One part One part
Best user Seasonal fleets General winter End-of-life retread

Frequently Asked Questions

What gets replaced?

Only the carbide core; the zinc-coated body stays seated in the tread.

Why is that better?

The rubber hole is disturbed once, so retention does not decline with each change.

Can bodies and cores be ordered separately?

Yes – quantities are confirmed with the order.

Is the body corrosion protected?

Yes, the body is zinc coated.

What is checked?

Body coating, core fit and core hardness per lot.
