Question
Would you recommend putting these on all winter? I wouldn't fancy changing them every other day as the weather changes.
I generally ride on a two path, which is slippy due to wet leaves and mud etc.

you could but you will lose studs fast on tarmac as they tend to pull-out quickly if used on normal road surfaces

If you generally ride off-road, then yes I would recommend putting them all winter. Traction seems good in above-zero temperatures on- and off-road, and though I'm guessing here, I don't think your studs will wear out as quickly on typical towpaths as they might on tarmac.

After nearly 100km of 40% ice and hard packed snow and 60% pavement, the studs look fine. I will leave my studded tires on until I don't have to worry about ice any more.

Leave them on all Winter. For a durable tyre they offer a comfortable ride!

Ideally you should ride these on the road before hitting any ice in order to bed the studs into the tyre properly. So you can ride the tyres on other surfaces other then snow and ice. They still have deep channels in order to cope with water and loose surfaces so you should be fine if you aren't pushing it too hard on hard, slippery surfaces.
