In my experience, one studded tire is all you need. If you're going through a lot of snow and need some extra traction for the back, then spring for the knobby cx tire (i.e. Maxxis Mudwrestler). If you don't think you'll need a ton of traction, then the Panaracers will be just fine (and will also be useful when the snow and ice is gone).
yeah I thought about just putting the studded tire in the back. Last week when I worked I couldn't spin for shi.....it was kind of frustrating so I sucked it up but I guess im looking for options for next year since it looks like snow is done here in Chicago.
