Stainless Steel Studded tires designed by me @ $ 0.25 per stud installed in existing tire.

Eric,

Thanks for your chiming in on this issue. I typically recommend against the use of steel studs unless a rider knows they will be riding solely on ice/snow. I've personally found that unless a studded tire has carbide studs they will wear out in as little as one season. What are other people's experience with the longevity of steel vs. carbide?
