When I had my dodge diesel 2500 4 wd I never took my studded tires off on Vermont this is back in 1999 as far as I know it is legal. Maybe it has changed I drive my Tacoma now and it's great in ice and snow plus all the dirt roads here no studs for me. Now

Of course, throughout the West, getting stuck in snow because of inadequate traction is a crime.  We are advised to carry chains if driving into high mountains, even in summer.  I have never bothered, but then I have only occasionally driven into the mountainous West up until I moved out here.  I do have chains of course, but haven't carried them in summer before.

Consideribg General Grabber AT2 for the camper, but still undecided.  If I get them, I will stud them, as the camper is of course not as good on snow and ice as the Prius is.  With the Blizzaks, it seems great so far.
