What do you think?
(P.S. I always feel obligated to mention, for anyone reading my comments about this that I would *never* run a studded tire in the front but not in the rear. Different levels of studs in the front and rear are a different story, though.)
On my current road bike swapping the wheels requires deflating bigger tires (like 35mm), otherwise I can't get them past the brake pads. It would be quicker to grab another bike, - as long as the garage is clean enough to keep two handy
