I don't know of tires that have quick/easy studs to add/remove. I ride Dillinger studded tires for winter, and in Minnesota, we have many months of studded tire conditions every year. So I have summer and winter tires for my Pugsley. The only reason for studded tires is ice, if your winters don't include weeks (or months) of icy trails/roads, I'd recommend a good snow tire (Dillinger w/o studs or Jumbo Jim).

Here's a video clip I made replacing worn studs on Dillinger 4 tires (you can see this would take a long time for two tires):
