I have 5 bikes to choose from, so the studs stay on the designated snow beater. I not only ride it when there IS snow, but when there is a chance of snow, when there is enough moisture and low enough temperatures for ice, and when all the damn salt is still littered all over the roads. Working a little harder with the studded tires won't hurt you - getting caught with your pants down by a suprise snow storm or ice patches can.
