It’s protecting the inner-tube from rubbing against the screw heads of my DIY studs. Did the same thing last year and it worked great.

Are studded tires a mountain biking thing? I can’t imagine it would help my commute.
I don’t think most mountain bikers ride in the snow - especially not in the conditions I do. I can usually get by with normal tires and low pressure for most of the winter, but come early spring when the snow melts in the sun during the day and then freezes at night, those trails turn treacherous. On smooth, hard ice, studs are the only option. Normal tires have literally zero traction.
