STUDDED TIRE SUOMI TYRES ROUTA W252 28" 50-622 / 700x50

The Suomi Tyres Routa W252 is a Finnish-made studded tire for northern riding conditions, offering secure grip, good rolling performance, and increased stability thanks to a wider tire profile. The 700x50 size provides significantly more riding comfort and load-bearing capacity, making the Routa an excellent choice for gravel bikes, hybrids, and city bikes used during winter and shoulder seasons on varying surfaces. The tire offers reliable grip on ice and snow without the heavy feel of a traditional studded tire.

Suomi Tyres Routa W252 28" – wide profile, consistent grip, and light rolling

The Routa W252 is designed to perform in diverse conditions where the surface varies from ice and packed snow to bare or damp asphalt. The tire’s fine siping pattern provides secure grip even on cold autumn asphalt, keeping the ride feel stable and predictable. The stud configuration consists of 252 steel-bodied carbide studs, positioned to provide balanced grip during braking and cornering without unnecessarily increasing rolling resistance.

The development of the Routa tire has focused heavily on rolling efficiency, and prototypes have been tested at the Finnish Wheel Energy laboratory, where they were confirmed to be fast studded tires despite their wide profile. The 50 mm width increases stability and comfort on uneven surfaces and improves load-bearing capacity on softer ground. All Routa tires feature a reflective sidewall strip, which enhances visibility and safety in the dark and at dusk. The tire is manufactured in Finland for northern conditions.
