OLYMPIA — Washington State Department of Transportation is reminding motorists that they have until Sunday evening to remove studded tires from their vehicles. If not, the Washington State Patrol can issue a $137 ticket.
“We know that studded tires cause between $20 million to $29 million in damage to state-owned roads in Washington each winter and also damage city and county roads,” said James Morin, WSDOT maintenance operations manager, in a news release. “We urge travelers to explore all their traction options, including non-stud, winter-tread tires, which are different from all-season tires. These tires are legal year-round and don't damage our highways.”
