Mr Haun
Is it okay to drive on studded tires on my car for hundreds of miles on Dry road?
I live in the high sierra and am shopping for snow tires or all seasons I can slap chains on and wondered if its a bad idea to go with 4 studded tires... Can these be driven around for long periods of time on dry road between storms or on roadtrips to SoCal?

Have read that it's a bad idea, as 1)you'll wear the studs out. 2) if everyone did, roads would get seriously chewed up.

Similar thing with chains.. Short distances "dry" not too bad, but longer distances, not good. Advantage with chains is they can (usually) be added/removed fairly easily/quickly. When not on the wheels, they don't take up nearly as much room, and as such you could probably leave them in the vehicle for such time as when you MAY need them

While it is legal to use the studded tires- the transportation department advises against it- unless extreme conditions warrant- because driving on studded tires may cause undue wear on bare roadways.

Studded tire laws vary by states.

Authorized start and stop dates are as follows:

* Montana: Oct. 1 - May 31

* Nevada: Oct. 1 - April 30

* Utah: Oct. 15 - March 31

* Oregon: Nov. 1 - March 31

* Washington: Nov. 1 - March 31

* Wyoming: Legal all year

Call your local transportation department.
