Researchers from Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, have now shown that studded winter tires cost more lives than they save. The new study takes a holistic view of the tires' impact on wider public health. At the same time, they show that using snow tires contributes to the bloody conflict in the Democratic Republic of Congo, and fatal accidents in their production phase.
