Sunday Deadline to Remove Studded Tires in Washington State (KELA Radio, Centralia, WA)


(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.
