Show Studded Tires Are Permitted Now Until March 31 As the winter driving season approaches, the Utah State Department De-partment of Highways reminds motorists that the use of studded stud-ded tires is permitted in Utah only from Oct. 15 to March 31. The 1973 Legislature, in setting set-ting 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 per-mitted when required for safety safe-ty because of snow, ice or other oth-er 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 partic-ularly severe conditions. Radial Rad-ial tires are not acceptable as a substitute for snow tires where a requirement for snow tires is posted. |
