November 1st to March 31 in Washington State

If you haven't guessed by now, the March 31, 2023 date is the final day that studded snow tires are allowed in Washington State.

The window that studded snow tires are allowed is between November 1st to March 31st according to the WSDOT website.

They also say "the Washington State Department of Transportation encourages drivers to remove studded tires prior to the deadline, if possible. Studded tires damage pavement, so removing them promptly after winter has passed helps preserve state roadways."
