I do it all the time, commuting to work. Studded tires at lower pressure = slower ride than usual, so my 60 minute commute can be as long as 75 if the headwind is bad like this week (this week was temps in single digits F and 15 mph headwind). Studded tires are magic on ice. Put them on after thanksgiving and take them off around St. Patrick's day. I find 2-3 inches of snow is my max, or if they bring the snowplows out then I don't ride for a day or two until everyone else is reset in their ways. Somehow, the act of plowing narrows the road and adds increased propensity to take risks for many motorists. If I had a SWB instead of an LWB, I could probably tolerate somewhat deeper snow but not enough weight up front with the LWB on so 3 inches can start to push the front end around.
