I did the same just before the last cold spell. They were great for a couple of weeks of snowy and icy weather. However, a word of warning, they’ll stop being so effective after about 150 miles, and the studs will be useless after 300+. Mine have worn down to the rubber tread now so don’t work on ice anymore, still got deep tread so good for snow, but you’re shifting a few hundred grams of metal for no reason!
I’ve since learnt that pretty much all the other studded tyre manufacturers use carbide tipped studs, Innova just use regular steel, so they wear down far quicker. So, I invested in a pair of Schwalbe Marathon Winters, and guess what? It got warmer and I haven’t had a chance to try them out!
