Time to remove studded tires

State law requires studded snow tires be removed by April 30, the Idaho Transportation Department announced. Idaho’s studded snow tire season began Oct. 1.

Studded tires are snow tires with small metal cleats embedded in the tread. They may cause undue wear on bare roadways.

Studded tire laws vary in neighboring states:

  • Montana: Oct. 1 – May 31
  • Nevada: Oct. 1 – April 30
  • Utah: Oct. 15 – April 15
  • Oregon: Nov. 1 – April 1
  • Washington: Nov. 1 – March 31
  • Wyoming: Legal all year
