The spikes do not affect the permeability of the car. When a snow storm and snow on the road, you need a "toothy" protector, large bumps and wide / deep groove drainage. Rubber bumps "raking" and grind a snow, developed grooves efficiently derive snow and moisture out of the contact patch.
The spikes are responsible for exchange rate stability on ice and packed snow. As far as I know, ice and packed snow - a rare phenomenon on the New York streets. Wet and dirty asphalt is the daily reality of winter. Under such conditions, studded tires are useless, sometimes harmful. Metal spike unable to break through the asphalt, it glides over the surface. In addition, it prevents fully pressed to the asphalt of rubber protector. The effect of poor adhesion, as a heeled cow on the marble floor.
If you want studded tires - not worth saving. Choose a major manufacturer and equipment spines in the factory. More likely that the wear of spike and wear of rubber protector the uniform over time. If I were to use spikes, I'll buy Nokian Hakkapelita.

As far as snow goes in new York it depends on your location where I am we will get about 150" per season
Just north of me in a small town called red field they will get an annual average of 22 feet or 264"
So I guess it depends on where you live in ny and how far and fast you travel in the winter.
I have run studded snows in the past and I agree it feels like you are on ball bearings on dry pavement but it did work well on the snow and ice covered roads

By the way, I mean New York City (I'm sorry for the unintentional misrepresentation).
