The studs are nice on the ice but there are also some tires made with winter rubber that are supposed to grip better. Schwalbe and Nokian are the brands I'm aware of. I run the fattest tires that'll fit my frame and drop the pressure a bit for more grip. Dry winter days like last weekend aren't too hard on the wheels and brake pads but fenders are probably my favourite piece of winter kit.
