Sitting on the ground, the tires are supporting around 3,000 lbs each (depending on trailer weight) meaning the studs are subjected to that force along with the pounding of rolling down the highway. I don't think those wheel chocks are going to put any where near 3,000 lbs of force on the wheel or studs. And it is a static force, not pounding.
