Tire studs?

Looking at a set of Goodyear 395’s. It appears there are metal studs down in between the treads. What’s that all about? TIA

They have little rubber bumps not metal studs.

Sure look metal to me. But, hey, we learn something new every day right?! Thanks!

Tire is just faded. They turn that galvanized color over time

I also found it odd that there would be studs located in the grooves anyway.
