Show Studded Tires In Utah Now Legal As the winter driving season approaches, the Utah State Department of Highways reminds motorists that the use of studded tires is permitted in Utah only from October 15 to March 31. The 1973 Legislature, In setting these dates, also levied a tax of one dollar per tire or one cent per stud, to pay for some of the damage the studs do to Utah highways. The use of tire chains of "reasonable proportions" is permitted when required for safety because of snow, ice or other conditions tending to cause a vehicle to skid. Snow tires without studs may be used at any time, and use of snow tires and chains may be required under particularly severe conditions. Radial tires are not acceptable as a substitute for snow tires where a requirement for snow tires is posted. jSjBBBBBjsjffjSjBBjBBBsssjBj |
