Screw studs are small, screw-like studs that can be mounted directly into tires to provide extra traction on icy, snowy, and slippery surfaces. They are commonly used on tractor and agricultural machinery tires during winter conditions to increase stability and reduce the risk of slipping, improving safety and traction when working on icy fields and snow-covered roads.

Screw studs come in various lengths, sizes, and materials, often made of carbide or steel for maximum durability. They also feature different tip designs to optimize grip depending on the surface. Some screw studs are specifically designed to withstand high loads and wear, which is essential for heavy machinery like tractors and agricultural equipment that operate daily in tough environments.

When selecting screw studs, consider the machine’s weight, tire type, and the terrain you will be working on. For heavy agricultural machinery and tractors, longer and more robust studs are typically best to ensure a stable grip on icy surfaces. Ensure that the screw studs are the correct length to avoid damaging the tire. Also, check if the studs are compatible with your tires, especially if the tires already have tread patterns that might affect installation.
