What a fantastic ski vehicle! My thoughts on studs are no. For many reasons. They are very loud for one. Also, with new compounds containing silica and with modern winter tire designs like sipes and all that jazz, I'm not convinced that studs help in winter weather - even when it is icy. Tire rack has an endless list of negatives to studded snows. One being that they are restricted by date in almost all states. You should check with your Mfr to see if a specific tire is studable, but I can tell you that only new tires never driven on are safe to stud according to Tire Rack. You will find fans of studs. There was a time when they were the only real solution to ice short of chains. But I always ask stud fans what modern winter tire they tried back to back.
