This is a short review for now and I'll add more later depending on the interest in the thread.

I run one of these tires on the winter mule (on the rear). After two winter seasons it has become unusable due to the tires causing flats in multiple locations on the tube. Minimal rubber wear there yet the studs cause eventual chaffe flats from the inside of the tire. Pictures are worth 1000 words (or more!) so they are to follow. My solution was to use needle nose pliers and remove the studs to make the tired still ride-able until the end of the season.

I'd recommend not using these tires if you are a heavy rider (200+lbs) or if you don't mind replacing them each year. Or, use them on the front only. I have the 100 count stud version placed either side of the tire crown.
