I swap my Nokian studded tires in and out with the weather conditions, because I also don't like riding studded tires on dry pavement. Some people think that's too much trouble, and recommend a second bike or second wheel set. Or just leaving the studded tires on through the winter. None of those is a practical option for me, and swapping tires is simple and quick enough, since I keep my bike inside and have a repair stand in my apartment.

If I have my regular tires on, and there's a 40-60% chance of frozen precipitation overnight (but nothing else for the next few days), I'll swap one tire out the night before, and the swap out the appropriate tire the next morning after I see what happened with the weather overnight. I get out of bed expecting to change one tire. Tools are ready and bike is in the stand. It's a ten or fifteen minute task at that point, something I can do while I'm drinking my coffee. If there's more than 60% chance of frozen precipitation, I'll swap both tires out the night before.

I like to ride on the optimal configuration as often as is practical. I don't want to swap tires every night, but I don't mind swapping them a dozen times or so through the winter.

I wouldn't use just one studded tire, though, front or back.
