At about $ 12.50 per tire compared to $70-100.00 for carbide. Plus the fact I am using Kenda 700x38 at pich flat pressure used tires so if I get one season I am not worried.

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?
