That works. When I was young and impoverished I studded my own tires. 

amazon.com/SCHWALBE-Tyre-Spikes-Spike-Replacement/dp/B08X18R6J2

Most of the snow tires had holes molded into the tread for studs and you 
could push the mushroom headed studs in with the tool. Once was enough. At 
least I only had to do the two rear tires. I don't know if it is a state 
law or store policy but the shops here will only put studded tires on all 
4 wheels, at least for FWD cars. 

They do the job but between the studs and the more aggressive tread they 
are noisy and I'm happy to take them off in the spring.
