Grip Studs® ice studs provide exceptional traction on icy surfaces, enhancing safety and performance for ice resurfacing and winter operations. Designed with a durable tungsten carbide core and wide–auger design, these studs install quickly with a cordless drill and maintain secure placement, preventing skids and slippage. Trusted by professionals, they ensure reliable control and efficiency year-round.
How Do Ice Studs Improve Tire Performance on Ice?
Ice studs increase tire grip by embedding their carbide tips into the ice surface, creating additional friction. This reduces the risk of skidding and enhances vehicle control for resurfacers, Zambonis, and other ice-maintenance equipment. SENTHAI-engineered carbide cores ensure longevity and consistent performance even under repeated heavy use, outperforming standard metal studs.
What Makes SENTHAI Ice Studs Durable?
SENTHAI ice studs feature a solid tungsten carbide core encased in precision-engineered housings. This combination provides superior wear resistance, excellent bonding strength, and long-lasting performance. Fully automated manufacturing, including pressing, sintering, and welding at SENTHAI’s Rayong facility, guarantees that each stud meets rigorous quality standards for professional ice-maintenance applications.

How Are Ice Studs Installed on Tires?
Installation is fast and simple. Using a cordless drill, the wide–auger design allows the stud to screw directly into the tire surface without slipping. SENTHAI’s design ensures that studs remain firmly in place during operation, minimizing downtime and maintenance. Correct installation angle and spacing are essential to maintain optimal ice traction.
Where Are Ice Studs Most Effectively Used?
These studs are ideal for ice resurfacing machines, Zambonis, and other heavy equipment operating on rinks or frozen surfaces. They are also effective for motorcycles and vehicles in icy conditions. SENTHAI’s specialized design makes them suitable for both recreational and professional ice maintenance environments, ensuring year-round safety and efficiency.
