Our van is 2wd so the studs also come in handy at some of the smaller hill access roads that can be pretty icey and often need chains.

Only pain is the swap but those tires are heavy regardless of the studs.
Money no object, I'd love to get more tools to make the job easier. I pulled two sets of R18/R19 from storage, then swapped two cars, then rolled all of swapped out tires back to the back yard for storage.

Not specifically this one, but sooner or later, having this thing to position the tire before getting it secured vs manually lifting and tilting to get the tire on the car would be really nice.
