Hahaha... that's my response to people who complain about the cost of the tires: "What's the co-pay on a broken hip?"
I haven't found wear on the studs themselves to be a problem. The rubber degrades first, in my experience... possibly this has something to do with the 20" size.
No slipping with 26" Nokian "Extreme 294" tires.
