Honestly, about the same. Ice ruts still "gutter ball" you around. The benefits of studs don't come close to outweighing the drag on bare pavement.
I'm running these 2.1" Schwalbes at a low PSI to get as close to a ghetto fat bike as I can with what I have.

8/10 would bang again.
I can't wait for the north side Louise Bridge underpass to reopen.... unfortunately it looks like the City has given up on it till spring.
