Not appreciably... They do change driving feel a bit for sure and people misinturpret that often, but all the rubber is still in contact with the asphalt. The studs do not support the weight of the vehicle and compress in the tire when on hard surfaces. The pin is is only ever so slightly protruding past the tread to begin with.
