Here in PA from what I remember studded tires are only allowed Nov-April. However, my biggest complaint is not the studs, its how much UNNEEDED LIGUID SALT is put on the roads! Not only does it ruin our roads (probably more than studs) but what it does to our vehicles, and the environment. I just put studded tires on my bike yesterday as I commute in the evenig and back into the wee hours of the morning. The rolling resistance is more but I will take it!
