Although I have not ridden with studded tires I have ran a few times with 'studded rubbers' on my running shoes. They were great on ice and snow but SLICK on paved surfaces. The metal spikes slide rather than grip the clean pavement. As others have said, Keep the bike upright and slow down. I would guess that your braking distance would also be lengthened especially in the case of an emergency stop.
