The BEST Studded Tires for 2025 P7 of 8

The Triangle IceLynx TI501 presents a puzzling contradiction, being a studded tire with virtually non-existent ice grip that performs worse than even worn friction tires on slippery surfaces. Ice braking distances are more than double those of the best performers, making it genuinely dangerous on winter roads, while snow performance is only marginally better with the tire struggling to maintain grip in corners despite adequate straight-line traction. Surprisingly, the tire redeems itself on asphalt with the shortest braking distances in the test, particularly excelling on wet surfaces, though it suffers from severe understeer and reluctance to change direction quickly. The one saving grace is exceptionally low road noise with a smooth, homogeneous sound character free from disturbing resonances or frequencies.
