No way am I taking the risk after suffering through this hellish winter of taking the studs off to soon, hitting one of the last ice pitches, and be unable to bike during the summer because of a broken arm or something. Heck no. I keep riding studs till there's no chance of ice at all anywhere.
This time of year it's not a matter of guess work as to whether or not there's ice on the road. There may be cold morning after a night of rainfall that might turn into ice on the road, and when it doubt I always take the studs. It takes two minutes to swap out the wheels.
I think it's safe to take them off now.
