Last Christmas (2007) my parents bought me Studded Snow Tires (Innova Studded Winter Tire - 26 inch X 1.9 inch with 104 studs) for my Mountain Bike. These tires worked great at first. With the extra aggressive tread pattern and the metal studs I felt very unavoidable biking on snow covered trails. Even though the tires worked great for most situations they didn't work if there was ice under the snow. I did crash a integrate of times because of this but I didn't get hurt (at least not seriously).
I was happy with the tires until the a integrate of months later. Some of the studs fell out. I believe this was my fault for ridding too aggressively. You have to turn your riding style when you have studded tires. You cannot stop speedily (unless you need to for security reasons). And you have to go nearby corners slower or the studs can be pulled out. You can buy transfer studs for this tire but the missing studs didn't make a big inequity so I never bothered.

Now it is the beginning of December 2008 and I am putting these tires back on my bike. But I have noticed that the studs are worn down and do not make a huge inequity anymore. Unfortunately, the studs in this tire are hardened steel and not carbide which is much harder and longer lasting. As I mentioned before, you can buy transfer studs for the tire but you can roughly buy new tires for the price of the transfer studs.

I would not buy these tires again. I would spend the extra money and get studded tires with carbide studs instead. There is no point in buying tires that only last half of the winter season.
