probably fine for icey streets, snow, etc....
for racing though... custom built is the way to go, every tire lug needs a stud/staple. Off the shelf studded tires usually have a stud every other lug and don't protrude far enough to really grip the ice under hard acceleration (racing conditions vs commuting contitions I guess)
