I have looked at the USAC standard and collegiate rulebooks and there is no mention of the type of tires that need to be used in any discipline. For anyone interested in learning more about these tires, my favorite page is http://www.peterwhitecycles.com/studdedtires.asp
As per USAC Rule 1B (found in General) which is directly a reference to UCI rule 1.3.018. (in short) No spike or stud of any kind may be used. That pertains specifically for cyclo-cross.
For Olympic and other international events, and the activities of UCI Teams, the applicable regulations of the organization that authorizes the event or team shall take precedence over USA Cycling regulations.
