Study mentions EU and source company has offices in Stokenchurch, UK and Stuttgart, Germany. I doubt they tested with studded tires and called it typical.

They did test with brand new tires - that's the likely source.

"Emissions Analytics .. [self proclaimed?] leading independent .. specialist for .. measurement of realworld emissions .. performed .. initial tyre wear testing. .. on brand new, correctly inflated tyres .. [and] found that the car emitted 5.8 grams per kilometer of particles."

I don't think you can call it a study. They say they performed, "initial testing".

BANG - thank you.

Brand new tires have a molding protectant layer on them. "Scrubbing" is common in auto racing, on a new set.
