Anybody know if you can use studded tires in Calif? Or what states permit them? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mark Tuovinen" <mst@AK.NET> To: <vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM> Sent: Thursday, December 01, 2005 4:06 PM Subject: Re: studding my Hakkapeliitas?

I have Nokians that are on their fourth winter and they still have almost all of their studs. Lessor quality tires typically lose as many studs as my Nokians did in their first winter, and used tires that have studs installed usually will lose them even faster. > > Mark in AK > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: Wesley Pegden <wes@CS.UCHICAGO.EDU> > Date: Thursday, December 1, 2005 2:41 pm > Subject: studding my Hakkapeliitas? > To: vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM > > > I'm wondering... > > my Hakkapeliitas have holes for studs.
