Minnesota Atty General to Clarify Studded Tire Law
Minnesota Attorney General Warren Spannaus said it appears likely the legal use of studded snow tires ended May 1, but an opinion may clarify the situation. A St Paul municipal judge had ruled studs legal through December 31, while lawmakers declined to renew a winter stud law from 1967. The judge’s view tied legality to Oct 15 through Dec 31 this year. A five day Iowa forecast follows with general cold and snow chances and temperatures in the 20s to 40s.
