I've noticed in warm icy conditions the studs are near useless. I've been curious how they handle the really hard packed snow that is close to ice vs a winter compound only.
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.
