I found a stud missing off 1 of my nokian extreme 294?s. they're about 3-4 years old, though this is only my 2nd winter riding them. I remember seeing a thread, and tried searching about it, but couldnt find it about this subject. Is it worth replacing? & if so, would most any bike store carry them?

Thanks,

they'll be fine even with 50% of the studs gone.
the only things to consider are how worn out the studs and tread might be.
