Studded Tire Suomi Tyres Piikkisika W396 27.5 x 2.6"

SUOMI TYRES PIIKKISIKA W396 27.5 x 2.6" STUDDED TYRE

The Suomi Tyres Piikkisika W396 27.5 x 2.6" is a premium Finnish-made studded tyre for demanding winter off-road riding, where grip, smoothness, and riding confidence are crucial. Its wide 2.6” profile, stiff-sidewall construction, and precisely designed stud pattern make the tyre exceptionally stable on ice and snow, while remaining predictable in varied winter conditions. The Piikkisika is designed for riders who ride actively in winter and demand genuine, uncompromising performance from their tyres.

Suomi Tyres Piikkisika W396 27.5 x 2.6" – even stud contact and reliable winter grip

The performance of the Piikkisika W396 is based on the synergy between the tyre’s tread pattern and studding, designed to maximise simultaneous stud contact with the ground on every rotation. The tyre features 396 aluminium-bodied carbide studs with increased protrusion for improved ice grip. The studs are optimally positioned to ensure even grip across the entire tyre, without variation when cornering, braking, or riding in a straight line.

The tyre’s progressive and relatively fast tread works reliably on ice, snow, and mixed conditions, even on partially thawed surfaces. Rectangular knobs effectively support the studs and keep them securely in place even under heavy loads. The stud pockets are cast directly into the tread surface during manufacturing, ensuring a precise fit and reducing the risk of studs coming loose during long-term use.

The lightweight Skinwall construction and non-toxic rubber compound developed for winter use maintain the tyre’s flexibility and performance even in freezing conditions. The casing provides effective puncture protection and adapts to cold temperatures without sudden changes in ride feel. The triple-wrapped steel bead adds strength and stability during demanding winter off-road riding. The tyre is manufactured in Finland specifically for northern conditions.
