Abstract	The results of the tests can be grouped according to the wear resistance of pavements and the pavement wear caused by different types of studded tires. The pavements below are listed in accordance with their wear resistance (descending order): cement concrete 0/22 mm, gussasphalt 0/16 mm, bitumen concrete 0/18 mm (basalt chippings), bitumen concrete 0/8 mm (diabase chippings) (the last with the poorest wear resistance). As regards studded tires, one distinguishes between those with studs of the first generation, (large, heavy, large number of studs per tire), studs of the second generation (small dimensions, lighter, small number of studs per tire) and studs of special design. If we set the pavement wear caused by tires with first generation studs equal to 100%, the damage caused by second generation studs amounts to approx. 40% to 50% depending on the pavement in question and that of tires with specially designed studs to approx. 20% to 30% depending on the pavement in question. The results demonstrate the manufacturers' success in reducing pavement wear caused by studs by measures, such as reducing the number of studs per tire, dimensions and weight of the studs, controlling protrusion and reducing the retraction force of the studs. Nevertheless, however, pavement wear due to studded tires is still 20 times as high as that caused by studded tires.
