LEWISTON, ID – Today, March 31, marks the deadline for drivers in Washington and Oregon to remove studded tires from their vehicles. Failure to comply by the end of the day may result in fines—$137 in Washington and $165 in Oregon. Automotive centers are expected to be busy, so plan accordingly.
In Idaho, the deadline for studded tire removal is April 30, providing drivers with an additional month. However, officials recommend switching to regular tires sooner if winter conditions no longer necessitate their use.
