Default Raptor tires for mixed use, do I need 2 pairs?

Hi I've searched and I need some help on seeing if I can get away with one set of tires or if I need 2?

Winter, studded for ripping on the ice and small rivers where I live.
Summer, out in the mountains 20% mud holes, 20% hill climbing, 40% shale, rocks and dirt, 20% muskeg?

Thinking about Razr2's or Holeshot hd if one set.

or 1 set ice tires like chen shin 826 or holeshots / razr1 studded. Then put on some 22 bearclaws or gators for summer.

All stock up front.

Feed back appreciated on what you would do.

I've been trying to run studs in the stock tires and that's where I've been having issues. I can not get the studs to stay in, 2 hours on the river and I pitch 1/3 of them. I think the tires are too soft to hold the studs. I may try shorter studs height if I can find them and contact cement them in. The stock tires do not have a deep enough lug to run studs but 1/2 inch into the tire.
