Iowa Judge Allows Metal Studded Snow Tires
Polk County District Judge Gibson Holliday ruled metal studded snow tires legal on Iowa highways, overturning an attorney general opinion. He ordered the Safety Department and Highway Patrol to stop issuing tickets for such tires, a decision praised by State Safety Commissioner Ge Needles and backed by Senator Warren Kruck who challenged a previous ticket test. The ruling states that metal studs are not rubber tires as defined by a 1937 law banning non rubber projections, though tests to determine safety were inconclusive.
