Time nears to get studded tires off
March 27, 2017
If you are traveling in Idaho, the deadline for snow tire removal is Sunday April 30. The fine in Idaho for having studded tires past the April 30th deadline is $67.

The deadline for studded tire removal in Washington is Friday March 31.

This applies to everyone regardless of where you live, where your vehicle is registered, or the laws of the state that you reside in. The fine in Washington for having studded tires past the deadline is $136.

Keep in mind that with the approaching removal deadlines, local tire shops will be experiencing an increase in volume that will most likely cause longer wait times. Please be patient with your local tire technicians.
