Did you take your studded tires off yet?

A $124 ticket could be headed your way if you didn’t get those snow tires off your vehicles by yesterday.

The Washington State Department of Transportation sent out a reminder last week that the deadline to remove studded tires was Monday, March 31st. With the weather warming up and travel becoming safer, it’s important for drivers to switch over to avoid causing damage to roadways.

Road crews will be closely monitoring weather forecasts and will be on call in the event that high-elevation routes need clearing. Tire chains are still appropriate for icy or snowy conditions.

More information about using studded tires in Washington is available online.
