Do studded tires last longer than regular winter tires?

I live in Quebec so studs are legal and winter tires are mandatory by law from Dec 15 – March 15. Our old set of winter tires lasted us 3 seasons and we’re considering getting (new) studded tires next winter.

Do the studs provide extra life for your tires? My husband was told they can last 2 years longer because once the studs are gone you still have a decent winter tire. Is this true?

Can a tire be re-studded? Or once the studs are gone are you just driving around on nubs?
