Studded tire
season runs
through March
SALEM — Motorists are now
allowed  to  have  studded  tires
on  Oregon  roads,  but  the  Ore-
gon Department of Transporta-
tion encourages drivers to con-
sider other options.

concluded  studded  tires  cause
about  $8.5  million  in  damage
each  year  on  state  highways,
according to an ODOT press re-
lease. 
Alternatives include: 
*  Chains:  Link  chains,  cable
chains or other devices that at-
tach  to  the  wheel,  vehicle,  or
outside  of  the  tire  that  are
specifically  designed  to  in-
crease  traction  on  snow  and
ice.  Drivers  should  note  that
link  chains  may  not  be  recom-
mended for use on some types
of vehicles; check your owner’s
