That is not true. Works the same as you can drive at 15 in Florida but
in New York City you can't until you are 18 even if you have a Florida
License.

I believe, and I may be wrong (has known to happen!) that as long as
your
studded tires are legal in the state your van is registered in, you're
ok
wherever you go....

If all you want to do is "go", then snows, studded or otherwise are OK.
If
you also want to "steer" and "stop", then you need all four. Check to
make
sure that studded tires are legal where you are going and any other
place
you may travel while they are mounted.

Calling all experts at driving in snow & ice!
This southern California couple is headed to the mountainous snow
country of
South Lake Tahoe for the winter. I assume that having studded snow tires
will help us drive our Westy more safely and without as much need of
chains.
One vanagon owner that I talked with, claimed that two studded snowtires
(on
the rear wheels) would work just as well as studded snowtires on all
four
wheels. I would really appreciate any additional opinions from other
vanagon
owners who have experience with either (or both) approaches. Thanks in
advance for your experience. Lee Kouns 87 Westy 88 Westy
