The Kormoran Stud 2 is a studded winter tyre designed for passenger cars operating in extreme winter conditions. This tyre features 80 to 100 tungsten-carbide studs strategically positioned throughout the tread to maximize ice penetration while minimizing road noise. The tread design includes numerous tread blocks with high-density sipes and a rubber compound made from silica to ensure excellent braking on ice and optimal reliability on wet, icy, and snowy surfaces. Load and speed ratings vary by size, with common specifications including 94T to 99T ratings, allowing maximum speeds up to 118 mph. The Stud 2 generates noise levels around 72 decibels and falls into fuel efficiency class D. This tyre is particularly recommended for drivers in Nordic regions and other areas with severe winter climates where ice-dominated conditions are prevalent.
