studs would work great on the ice but would pull out on rough surfaces... if you had an extra set of tires an wheels for the front it would work great.. chains will akso work on the ice but not as well as the studs .. you can try the chains and see how it does and it would not damage the tires trying them and would be cheaper than extra tires and wheels with studs in them ... cheap screw in studs can and will pull out on rough pavement ... but the good expensive one's would do alot better ...
