(CENTRALIA, WA) -- If you still have studded tires on your
vehicle, you have until midnight Sunday to remove them.
The Washington State Department of Transportation reminds
drivers that state law requires all studded tires to be removed by the end of
the day March 31. Starting at midnight on Monday, April 1, drivers with studded
tires face a $136 fine.
The department says it will not extend the studded tire
deadline this year, but crews continue to monitor roads, passes, and forecasts
and work to quickly clear any late season snow or ice.
