California allows studded tires on vehicles from Nov. 1st to April 30th.
Chains can be required on vehicles during snow conditions. There are three
categories. R1 is two wheel drive vehicles with snow tires or four wheel
drive. R2 is two wheel drive vehicles with chains and four wheel with snow
tires. R3 is four wheel drive vehicles with chains. Usually the road is
closed before R3 is called. Additionally, there are different requirements
for large vehicles by weight. Our local fire trucks are all four wheel
drive, but they have to chain up at R1 because of their weight. Confused? So
are most of the people that visit here in the Winter.
