      <title>MOTOR TRAFFIC IN SNOWY DISTRICTS. STUDDED TIRE PROBLEM</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/201821</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Following their introduction into Japan in mid-1960's, studded tires which where developed to improve the traction force and resistance to skidding on icy pavements have received rapid acceptance.  Their wide spread use, however, has been a source of much controversy in the highway community composed of driver, car and tire makers and highway administrators.  Pavement wear by studded tires raised now a serious problem.  Recently, in addition to the pavement wear, increasing use of studded tires raised questions concerning detrimental effects on environment generated from air pollution and highway noise.  The objective of this paper is to assemble the facts that are currently available on the effects of studded tires, and to search a course of further studies.]]></description>

      <title>EFFECTS OF STUDDED TIRES</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/36654</link>
      <description><![CDATA[This report presents a comprehensive review of the current state of knowledge regarding the use and effects of studded tires. Information is presented on all facets of the studded tire-pavement system. An effort is made to present all of the known facts about studded tires, and to point out the areas of inadequate or missing information. A few conclusions are offered where adequate support seems to make this justified.]]></description>

      <title>SYNTHESIS ON STUDDED TIRES</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/112456</link>
      <description><![CDATA[BASICALLY THE STUDDED TIRE CONTROVERSY CONDENSES TO THE FACTS THAT THE ADDED SAFETY BENEFITS OF STUDDED TIRES ARE MARGINAL AT BEST, THAT THE TIME OF THEIR EFFECTIVENESS IS MINIMAL, AND THAT THE HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS CAN FURTHER BE MINIMIZED BY AN EFFECTIVE WINTER MAINTENANCE POLICY. STUDDED TIRES DO CAUSE ACCELERATED PAVEMENT WEAR; THIS WILL CAUSE AN INCREASE IN MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR COSTS. THE ADDED COSTS FAR OUTWEIGHT THE POTENTIAL MARGINAL SAFETY BENEFITS IN LIGHT OF THE PROBABLE NEGATIVE SAFETY ASPECTS. UTAH HAS PROHIBITED THE USE OF STUDDED TIRES, BUT IT CONTINUES TO PERMIT THE USE OF STEEL COILED SNOW TIRES.]]></description>
