I would not worry about it, with the Marathon Winters, you can bump up the air pressure up to keep the studs from contacting the road as much when in a straight line.

The carbide will outlast the rubber in your tires so stud wear with carbide should not be any type of problem. I would make sure you are not cornering or braking as aggressively on dry pavement though as you can pull out studs easier.
