Studded tire seasons starts

Rain makers. Egg shakers. Asphalt eaters.

Whatever you might call them, studded tires are allowed starting Wednesday.

State law allows drivers to use studded tires from Nov. 1 to March 31 each year, though transportation workers encourage drivers to explore stud-free traction tires and other alternatives, citing road damage. Since last year, each new studded tire now carries a $5 fee.
