Shwalbe winter studded tyre question

[ren531]

I find studs absolutely necessary in icy conditions and the performance is outstanding IMO. Winter around here is tough as it is largely a mix of ice, snow, and bare pavement. I do find that the studs wear down a bit and are likely not quite as effective as they do. I have also lost a few however they are easily replaced. For me, another front rim with the studded tire and quick release that allow for quick tire changes according to conditions would be ideal.

I have found an old front wheel I had laying around and fitted the tyre to that, it doesn't have the dynamo but I can live with that for the few short occasions I need studded tyres , the back tyre I will just change as before but I will half the time to swap over to icy weather mode .
