Schwalbe Ice Spiker Pro HS 379 Studded Mountain Bike Tire (26x2.1, Winter Folding, Black Skin) Review

I have been using Nokian Gaza Extremes on my 26er for several winters on local mountain bike trails here in Colorado, with a few miles of travel on asphalt each way to the trailhead. The Nokians did very well, and over a winter season with say 40 or 50 rides of 6-14 miles each I might replace a total of 50 or 60 studs on both tires. It is the nature of the beast that studs will come out of studded mountain bike tires when they are used on mountain bike trails. This year I bought a 29er bike and decided to try the Schwalbe Ice Spiker Pro tires because, among other things, they have so many spikes (402 on each tire). I have done six rides of about 10 miles each now under winter conditions with the Schwalbe tires, and have discovered that while they perform very well indeed (and probably better than the Nokians), they have already lost 148 spikes from the front and rear tires. That's nearly 20% of the total number of spikes over six rides. At this rate I won't have any spikes left in 24 more rides. The Schwalbes are quite expensive, and so I would have expected much better quality and longevity. I will be going back to Nokian studded tires, as Nokian clearly know more about the art of making winter mountain bike tires.
