Moose.........I worked in a tire store while going through college. I studded many snow tires for cars and trucks! The tires at that time had to have holes from the tire manufacturer
so the studs could be installed. I ran them and they were great on packed snow and/or ice. A special gun was used to install the studs. A rotating bin dropped studs through a tube and through the gun. The nose of the gun was inserted into the holes in the tread of the tire, the mechanism of the gun then spread the hole out enough so that the "head" (similar to a nail) could be shot into the hole with air, and so was locked in the tread. If you can find tires with the holes, you might have a chance....otherwise, in my opinio, you are SOL.
