For races and more aggressive riding (ie twisty single-track), I like front and rear studded tires. The small number of winter races I've done, they have all included some lake ice or refreeze sections that will hurt you with out studded tires. If I get into more winter races, I want to get a set of
Bud and
Lou tires for races without ice, friends tell me they are a great combo on snow.
OTOH I like studded front only for commuting on roads or MUPs.
