Oregon: Studded tires could be outlawed by ballot measure
Studded tires in Oregon are out for the season as of today, and a proposed initiative would ban them permanently. The Oregon Transportation Department, which last week extended the end of the studded-tire season from April 1 until Monday night, did not extend it again. The agency said it might still be snowing on some passes from time to time, but the legal use of studded tires was over for now.
