If the tires have 90% or more tread, you'll be fine with using 3/8" studs. They won't penetrate all the way through.

someone has to know? anyone out there know if there are short studs that wont puncture the tire or do i need to buy tires with big knobs to stud?

Get some 1/2" or 5/8" gold screws or kold kutters. As long as the tires are new, or almost new, you won't have any problems.

The more studs you put in , the better chance you will not lose any, and you will get better traction. Don't bother with 3/8!

Depending what size quad your using go with the 5/8 put the studs in slow do not spin them in fast you will keep the studs in the tires a lot longer when you take your time dont use a high speed drill.
