Studded tire
rules
STUDDED tires will be legal this year until April 15, due to action by the 1974 General Assembly, says Colonel H.W. Burgess, Superintendent of State Po^ lice. Before this action the legal use period for such tires in Virginia was from November 1 to April 1 but the 1974 General Assembly lengthened it to from October 15 to April 15. The 1975 General Assembly did not change these dates.
Burgess observed that there has been considerable discussion on a national basis as to the overall effectiveness of the safety features of studded tires and whether or not they outweigh potential highway damage. The Highways and Transportation Department reports that the Virginia Highway and Transportation Research Council, operated by the University of Virginia and the Highways and Transportation Department, is making a continuous study in this field.
