Ice Ripper Track

I've got a 99 zrt 600 and it has a new ice ripper track on it. The question is has added a stud kit to one of these tracks? will it compromise strength of the track? Im just wanting to get a little more traction

Have you run it on snow/ice yet?
All reports I have heard is that they are a good traction track as is.

No it wont weaken the track at all.

Icerippers come prestudded, so wouldn't conventionally studding it in addition result in a lot of rotating mass? The track could handle it, but it might be kind of slow.
