I once sent an email to the Texan DOT about studded snow tires, since I was driving from Colorado and New Mexico and would only be driving on a few miles of Texan highway. But I was told I could get pulled over and fined. So I put on the all-season tires and sure enough, went through a terrible blizzard on the way down and another on the way back. And I mean for half the state of NM and half the state of CO, trudging through deep snow and over icy roads. I think the next time I look for snow tires I'm going to try to get studless.
I got pulled over in the stock 1984 VW diesel for not having enough power. 25 in a 55mph zone, fully loaded going up 6 or 7% grade. The officer was nice though, just curious why I was billowing so much smoke and not going any faster.
