Would this be safe?

Take the least populated roads as you can, and don't speed or take hard corners those two studs are doing the job of four.

I wouldn't drive 10 miles on 2 lugs. If you have to, just force them on as best you can - you'll want new lugs/studs anyway.

Agreed, drive it easy and check it every 5 minutes or so. Better safe then sorry.

If you have to ask yourself "Is this safe" it's usually not.
