It's not like the streets are going
going to be like off road trails,where the ground is muddy,softy and
uneven.
My first reaction was "where are you finding Nokian A10s for $38??" Then I remembered that 650b tires always seem to be more expensive.
+2 on reviewing past threads on the subject. You can do fine without them but they're great for the worst 15% of winter days and for peace of mind, so if you can swing buying a set, why not try them? I used W106s last winter and found them to work very well on the iciness I did ride on, fine in deep snow (about the same as my regular tires at the time) and good enough on dry pavement.
Now I have 700c W106s but no suitable 700c bike to put them on, and a desire for either 650b or 26" studded tires for this winter.
