As far as I know... yes. Rallyx is pretty much a free-for-all. Guys run winter tires in the summer, rally winter tires in the winter, winter tires in the winter, rally gravel tires in the summer...
If you can get your hands on a set of studded tires, why not. Generally speaking, the studs protrude so little, that they really won't do much at all. Not like ice racing where the surface is smooth and hard.
Now... if you can get hold of some proper rally studded snow tires... tall and narrow... with some rally spikes... thats a different story.
Got a source for studded tires in Southern Ontario? I'm still trying to find a stud gun to stud my own tires... since I live in Northern Ontario.
