Show answer

Correct answer

  • A2 mm2 mm
Explanation

Spanish rules state that studded tyres, allowed only when there is a layer of snow or ice on the road, must meet specific requirements so as not to damage the road surface. The studs must have rounded edges and must not stick out more than 2 millimetres from the tyre surface. So any larger figure (such as 3 mm or 4 mm) is prohibited, as it would cause excessive damage to the road.
