We got a good dump of snow in missisauga today, but it's all wet and slushy type of snow. No ice so I don't feel a need for studs. Normally I run studs on my winter mountain bike but this year I've been getting around just fine on some touring tires, (1.8 wide with some not too agressive tread). Actually most of this winter I spent riding my fixed gear road bike with skinny tires ( 32mm) wide, it's really good if there is just few cm of snow and slush.
