Reduced use of studded tyres in five Norwegian cities from 2002 to 2009 has not had a major impact on the number of road accidents. The five cities are Oslo, Drammen, Stavanger, Bergen and Trondheim. Changes in the use of studded tyres and changes in the number of accidents have been studied in these five cities for the period from January 1, 2002 until August 31, 2009. The use of studded tyres was reduced in all cities except Stavanger. For all five cities as a group, the number of police reported injury accidents increased by 2 percent during the winter season as a result of reduced use of studded tyres. The number of insurance reported accidents (of which more than 90 percent are property damage only accidents) was almost unchanged. The results of the study are highly consistent with the results of a similar study reported by the Institute of Transport Economics in 2000.
