They vary by the stud type and tire size, but roughly around $40 and up. They should last you a few years, depending how much you ride and what you're riding on.
I couldn't tell from the video, do you have studded tires or just straight knobby rubber? I've done a little snow riding and I was able to survive without studs ...barely!! Great video!!
I use Nokian Hakkapeliitta tires which have carbon steel studs. Schwalbe also makes a good studded bike tire, and they also use carbon steel now (they used to just use hardened steel.)
**note to self- buy studded tires for this winter**, I really want to start cycle commuting again and was always sidetracked by the onslaught of winter, this video proves there's no excuse not to ride, thanks again!
Wahh-wah...gas prices are sooo high...boo-hoo, we need fuel made from corn, even if people starve because we can't go anywhere without our big heavy automobiles.
This is an excellent video. Shows what it's like being out there which is what I was looking for as I'm going to be trying it this winter. :)

usually when it gets snowy like this I bike in the paths left by the car tires. Makes it a little easier.

I keep thinking about building up a winter-specific ss, but... too many hills. :)

How much do studded tires go for?

I do have studded tires - both front and rear. :)

nice one Steve! This documents one of the only days this past winter where we had more than 5 cm of snow on the ground - quite a novelty.
I especialy liked the sequence where you drove past the long line of stopped cars - following another bike track!
