Cool, Did not know that it appears to be state regulated. Question: I recently moved to the state and am getting my car ready for the winter. Does Pennsylvania require snow tires on vehicles? Answer: Under Pennsylvania law, motorists are not required to equip their vehicles with snow tires in the winter. However, you’ll find we get a lot of snow and ice here in Erie County. For that reason, the law allows motorists to use studded tires from Nov. 1 to April 15. Tire chains also are permitted if snow and ice is covering the roads, but only under that circumstance. > [@Cutty](#): > > well u are worng i’m happy to say. from nov 1 till april ??? they are legal. ---

here you go for argument sakes. If tred plays NO PART once you hit ice. Some one better inform these guys [http://www.casc.on.ca/iceRacing.php](http://www.casc.on.ca/iceRacing.php) especially the guys in the “rubber to ice” class. And before anyone makes comments about modifiactions to the vehicles, there aren’t many you are allowed and they have to be pretty much stock. you can read it all there in the regualtions. Now that IS on a frozen lake or “hockey rink” conditions so again tell me how tread has no bearing. Like previously stated, Have a good set of tires (somthing that isn’t bald) and driver skills can make or break you. ---

I would like to add ABS sucks, That is all :kekegay: Studs are worthless on the non snowy days,it similar to having bald tires. been there already, dont argue. Practicing in a open parking lot ( with alot of snow ) can greatly reduce your chances of loosing control. ---

It was crazy. trucks were jacknived through three lanes of traffic and everything. black ice everywhere. even the wife was a half hour late for work. I hate winter…ugh! ---

> [@silvrhand](#): > > Dude… > > Tread on ICE = DOES NOT FUCKING MATTER… I did a winter driving school last year where 800+ gallons of water was put down for ice…I found out one important thing when it comes to ice - if you want to steer, don’t slam the brakes and think ABS will help you steer a little while slowing down…you’ll keep going straight. Let off the brakes and you’ll be able to steer a little - possibly enough to avoid something…but for the most part…you’re right - solid ICE = you’re screwed. ---
