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.

That’s a great solution! I made a studded tire way back, but used some old inner tubes for protection instead.
My only regret was using regular screws, if I do it again I’d use stainless steel ones.
These are self-drilling and tapping ones which have hardened tips. These too wear off faster than they rust.
Edit: upon further research, self-drilling stainless screw might be the best option. They should be even harder than zinc-coated ones. 30 to 38 HRC compared to 35 to 45 HRC
