Studded snow tires legal beginning October 1 |
|
September 30, 2015 |
Snowstorms may not be part of the immediate
weather forecast, but October 1 marks the date
for legal use of studded snow tires in Idaho.
While it may be legal to use the tires,
officials advise against it until conditions
warrant. Studded tires are snow tires with small
metal cleats embedded in the tread, and may
cause undue wear on bare roadways. Idaho’s
studded snow tire season continues through April
30.
Studded tire laws vary in neighboring states:
· Montana: October 1 – May 31
· Nevada: October 1 – April 30
· Utah: October 15 – March 31
· Oregon: November 1 – March 31
· Washington: November 1 –
March 31
· Wyoming: Legal all year
