Studded Tire Removal Deadline March 31

Here’s a reminder from the Washington State Department of Transportation…

Last week’s arrival of spring means drivers in Washington have until this Sunday, March 31, to remove their studded tires, or face a $136 fine.

While studded tires help keep your vehicle from slip-sliding around wintry conditions, they also damage the pavement.

Removing the tires after winter helps us preserve our state highways and limit the amount of repairs we need to do this spring and summer. More information
