Studded Tire Suomi Tyres WXC Piikkisika W396 29 x 2.25"

The Suomi Tyres WXC Piikkisika W396 is a Finnish-made studded tire designed for winter off-road riding, with grip, consistency, and riding confidence at its core. The 29 x 2.25” size, combined with a stiff sidewall construction and dense studding, makes the tire exceptionally stable on ice and snow, while remaining predictable in varied winter conditions. The Piikkisika is designed for active off-road riders who tackle technical routes in winter and demand consistent, reliable performance from their tires without surprises.

Suomi Tyres WXC Piikkisika W396 29 x 2.25 – consistent stud contact and reliable winter grip

The performance of the Piikkisika W396 is based on a carefully designed tread pattern and studding arrangement aimed at maximizing simultaneous stud contact with the ground. The tire features 396 aluminum-bodied carbide studs with increased protrusion to improve ice grip. The studs are positioned to maintain consistent grip throughout the entire rotation, without variation during cornering, braking, or straight-line riding.

The tire’s progressive and relatively fast tread pattern ensures reliable performance not only on ice, but also on snow and in mixed conditions, including partially thawed surfaces. Rectangular knobs effectively support the studs and keep them securely in place under heavy loads. The stud pockets are cast into the tread surface during manufacturing, ensuring a precise fit and reducing the risk of stud loss during long-term use.

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