Even if it's a mild winter, using studded tires gives me piece of mind on the road.

I will stop using studs when they stop using them on public vehicles. must be good for the government but not good for the rest of us.

Safety reasons

I use studded tires in winter, icy conditions. Many people drive in winter conditions without any preparation. I want to be safe as possible and studded tires have proven they are safer on ice & snow.

All-season or winter tires will do the trick; I'd rather not contribute to the damage studs do to our roads.

A good set of dedicated snow tires and 4/all wheel drive works just as good as studded tire and do not tear up the roads.

Having grown up in northern MN and spending plenty of winter driving in AK, they're simply not needed.

Dave Voiles

Lived here 42 years, never used studs. If you think you need better traction buy a good set of snow dedicated tires. If you're really worried about the condition of our roads, STOP using studs.

I am retired and have an all-wheel drive Mini. If the weather is that bad, I just stay home. Otherwise, my Mini handles it well. I would not go to the expense + trouble to buy and switch out tires.

I have my tires syped so I don't affect the pavement negatively and they work just fine; even on icy roads.

Richard Dillard

The only thing that the do is tear up the roads. they really only work when the roads are very icey,

Sharon Brackett

Have all season siped radicals on an all wheel drive vehicle.

Bill Hulings

They do help on glare ice but if people would simply learn how to drive. I married a set of studs when I married the first time. I pulled the studs and have never used them since.

Nate Hamilton

My Blizzak tires work awesome on all road surfaces, are nice and quiet and don't cost our local society dearly in the form of excessive pavement damage. What's not to like!

Bill Rogers

If you feel you need studs you should stay off the roads. I ride a motorcycle and the stud ruts in Central Oregon make picking a line very difficult.

Have you seen these electric motorcycles, or dirt bikes, on city streets?

I see kids riding them all over Redmond . North end near Elton middle school and around Rimrock. Someone’s going to be hurt .

Barb Burns

There are 3 in the Redmond dry canyon almost every night.

John Sutton

There here in redmond also. I've seen them by Fred Meyer and the shopping center next to the Redmond high school.

Yes, and they are being ridden by young people. They should be cited by the Police for not being street legal vehicles.

Abso-friggin'-lutely!!! Bs don't pay their fair share due to tax loopholes and because they mostly acquire their enormous wealth thru investments that are NOT taxed, like income is for us peons. They also can pass their wealth on to heirs and there is no inheritance tax either.
