And by 32 miles I mean each way. My round trip to and from work is 62 miles. I don't actually commute THAT often, but that is due to the fact I work from home as much as possible. So when it is feasible and I have to go into the office I ride as much as I can. Good excuse to get some good miles in.

This is the first winter I have considered keeping up with the commute. Yesterday we got our first snow and the roads are snowy and icy (it got cold too). I realized that unless it is nice and dry, studded tires would likely be a good investment.

My issue comes in that the only bike I own that could handle studded tires is my old Mtn bike. It would make my already long commute even slower. I could do the drive/bike to split up the distance.

I guess I am just looking for someone to kick me in the direction of buying some nice studded tires. They would be good for Mtn biking in the snow too right?
