Any other states with similar laws? This sounds dangerous, to only have studs on the rear. Here in Norway, you can have two studless and two "summer" tires on the car, but not two studed and two others. Either four studed or none. Also, if you damage the car on slippery roads, without proper tires (m+s markings) you can risk no compensation for damages. (So, it is understood, but not a written law, that m+s marked tires are required in the winter) PerL 87 Syncro 112i |
