Due to the soft tire compound if I took the studs out I don't think I'd be able to get them back in. I chewed up one of the lugs pretty good installing one of the studs. So this Bud is going to be my dedicated winter tire. The 27tpi Nate might stand up better to having the studs removed, but I will probably leave those ones in too.

My Pugsley came with a Larry in the front. So for the summer I plan on running a Larry in the front and a Knard in the rear. I have a Lou that I tried on the rear but it was much too tight a fit. Since I'm leaning towards a Moonlander, instead of selling it I'll put it on the clown shoe so I can swap front wheels when I go out to the trails.
