Studless Winter Tires

Studless winter tires are now available. These tires have tire tread composed of special rubber compounds and tread designs that enhance their performance in snow and ice conditions.

Lightweight studs

In addition to the studless winter tires, motorists can still use lightweight studs for their traction needs. Washington retailers can only install lightweight studs in tires that meet new legal requirements established under Title 46 RCW ‘Motor Vehicle,’ Chapter 46.04. Your local tire retailer has information on fitting your vehicle with the appropriate lightweight tire studs based on your vehicle’s tire size.
