A tire is disclosed having a tread (1) which is divided in the tire width direction into a first shoulder region (5), a second shoulder region (7) and a central region (3). The tire comprises a first plurality of studs (9) installed in the first shoulder region (5), a second plurality of studs (11) installed in the second shoulder region (7) and a third plurality of studs (13) installed in the central region (3), each of said studs (9, 11, 13) comprising a body (21) and a stud pin (19) with a pin end protruding out of the body (21), the body (21) being at least partially embedded in the tread (1) and the pin end having a pin end size. In one aspect, at least a part of the third plurality of the studs (13) extends longitudinally into the tread (1) in a direction inclined by a first angle (α) in the circumferential direction of the tire, and at least a part of the first and/or second plurality of studs (9, 11) extends longitudinally into the tread (1) in a direction inclined in a direction different from the direction of the third plurality of the studs (13). In another aspect, at least a part of the first plurality of studs (9) installed in the first shoulder region (5) and/or at least a part of the second plurality of studs (11) installed in the second shoulder (7) extends longitudinally into the tread in a direction inclined by a second angle (β) in the tire width direction. In yet a further aspect, at least a part of the third plurality of the studs (13) extends longitudinally into the tread (1) in a direction inclined by a first angle (α) in the circumferential direction of the tire and the pin end size of the third plurality of studs (13) is smaller than the pin end size of the first and/or second plurality of studs (9, 11).
