Rode my Nokian Extremes for the last time yesterday evening. I had some advantage on the left over ice fields, but my buddies did OK and could often go around the ice. Hehe there were a couple of icy hills where I didn't have to walk and they did, but that will be gone in only days now. It was really wet and mucky though. But oh soooo.... nice to be back whithout all that winter gear. Only two weeks ago we couldn't make it through and had to carry our bikes through the snow. As soon as I post this I am going out to but my Schwalbe UST Jimmys back on. Those tires will be really nice until everything dries up. Been thinking about putting some Schwalbe Fast Freds on later in the spring when it gets harder underneath. Lots of rocky slabs and dirttrails covered with roots in between. Any comments?

Took mine off a few weeks ago here in New England. Lost @ 10 studs in the rear and a few up front this year. Do you bother to replace them?

I've spent most of my money on mountain biking and windsurfing. The rest I've just wasted.

I've only lost two studs on my Extremes and none on my W240 on the hybrid. So I wouldn't bother. I didn't even know you could replace them. How is that done?

It was a trick question Perre. I've been told that Nokian doesn't sell replacement studs here in the US. I was wondering if they were available in Europe. Some studded tire mfg's have a stud replacing procedure.
