Falling resistance, that's what you want!
I am currently in denial on studded tires myself, was really counting on the ground warming up so that black ice wouldn't be a thing, and maybe it has, there was no black ice today, but since it got farther below freezing last night than forecast, I hope it gets back into the 50s asap (like forecast) so the ground can warm past the black ice temps. If it doesn't happen and it does get black icy, and I don't find out until I ride through it and my front tire goes out, I will only have myself to blame...
