While they're not recommended until conditions
warrant, it became legal in Idaho and Montana to
put on studded snow tires October 1. Those
driving in Washington and Oregon have to wait
until November 1. According to the Idaho Transportation Department, snow has already fallen in some areas at high elevations, but putting on the studded tires should be delayed as long as possible to keep road damage to a minimum. "All-season tires, with good tread, or studless snow tires work well in most driving conditions," the ITD said in a recent press release. |
