PERFORMANCE OF STUDDED TIRES ON ICE

AN INCREASE IN BOTH TRACTION AND SKID RESISTANCE WAS INDICATED BY THE RESULTS OF TESTS OF STUDDED TIRES ON ICE IN 1964 AND 1965 BY THE NATIONAL SAFETY COUNCIL COMMITTEE ON WINTER DRIVING HAZARDS. HOWEVER, SINCE A NUMBER OF QUESTIONS WERE STILL LEFT UNANSWERED, IT WAS DECIDED TO WAIT UNTIL JANUARY 1967 BEFORE MAKING A FULL REPORT. AT THAT TIME, THE 1966 TEST INFORMATION COULD ALSO BE INCLUDED.
