Winter inquiry
So I hear that Washington doesn't allow Studded Tires, and they also apply gravel to their roads as apposed to Salt. Is all of this true? If so is there a way to get the state to pay for repairs, such as minor dents and paint chips from the rocks, THEY(the State) allies to the roads?

Here in Oregon I believe it's the same. But what's the difference between chains and studs...

Remember when driving in ice, drive like a turtle. If you are doing hooligan stuff, do it an an empty parking lot.
