How do they hold up?
Will they be way too slow on the road?

why would you?
+they are HEAVY!
+rolling resistance sucks.
+slow on the road
+expensive
+there's tons of better choices!
i lived in norway for 2 yrs and rode year round. for winter/icy conditions hakk's are invaluable -- but that's it.

i tried riding them to a cyclocross practice last season when the road was icy, and i could do crap on the practice course - slow, didnt grip, all the grooves filled in with mud, and people thought that i was riding on the rims when i got on asphalt or hard pack because the studs were so loud.
