And the reason I have a Second rear Rim was result of an ordering accident not any planning.

I tend to keep on the Studs once they are on, generally six weeks to three months per year. Today it is 60 degrees outside, but I am still using studded tires for it will get cold come this weekend. Thus I wait till I am sure what snow that will fall will not stay before I take off the Studs. That probably will be mid-February (through one year it was March).

I do have a second bike that I can use if I even want to ride without studded tires AND NOT change the tire on my front wheel. The only problem is the second bike has no lights and my main bike's light is a generator in the front hub. Thus I would have to buy a new light for the second bike. Once Spring breaks I will have more daylight and thus less need for a light, but then I would have time to change the tires on my main bike.

Just looks like I will stay with the Studded tires for another month or more, damn generator lights just can't change them between bikes like you can a battery light. Dame Schmidt's SON generators:
