OLYMPIA, Wash. – The Washington State Department reminds Washington residents to remove studded snow car tires.
Studded tires must be removed by the end of the day on Sunday, March 31, to avoid a potential fine of $137.
The removal date falls on a holiday this year which could mean some shops are closed, so the Washington State Department of Transportation urges travelers to plan now.
Studded tires are legal in Washington from Nov. 1 to March 31.
There is no individual exception or “out-of-state waiver” to the studded tire dates. Tickets could be issued by the Washington State Patrol as soon as Monday, April 1.
Washington State Department of Transportation does not issue tickets.
