Pretty sure that studs are illegal in Minnesota.  When I was a kid living in Buffalo New York, my dad got studded snow tires for his 67 Mustang.  They sure whined going down the road, but he never got stuck.  I heard that they were outlawed because they chewed up the roads so bad.  Apparently that's not a problem in Nova Scotia?

Hey my first post

When I lived in New Brunswick going to High School and eventually UNB I used to lower my rear end of the ol 67 Mustang into a bucket of cement. Anyone ever see this before? maybe it was a Herring Choker thing you ended up with 2 chunks of concrete on either side of the housing and using extra long U bolts you nutted them in place. That helped with traction along with the studded snow tires. I was the only kid in the area in the early 80's that would drive an old Mustang sucessfully in the snow.

Not quite ready for that here in Illinois!

Well, on edit, I'll be damned! Had to look it up and was very surprised to find that 33 states and D.C. allows either seasonal use or year around use. And here I thought they had been long banned except in snow country in the American West. I'll venture that most states did ban them long ago but later and over time reintroduced their limited use. Do remember one coming out at 75mph or so highway speed and hitting the inner fender panel, it sounded like a rifle bullet hitting the car.

A crazy old pal of mine had a semi-beater '69 or '70 Olds Cutlass that would spin any tire in snow/ice at low speeds as those small V-8's had tons of torque. He came by one Saturday and invited me and bro' for a spin on his new tires: studs on all four corners!. We tried all afternoon to spin that puppy out on ice, on entrance ramps, you name it. None of us could do it as that car had unbelievable hook. What fun

The wifes Stang is awesome with studs on all the corners.
I doubt I would let her drive in the winter here without studs.
We get a tremendous amount of ice build up.
It snows then rains and then freezes. Oh ya then they throw salt down and it freezes again. 
We can use them from mid Oct to April.

Great to see you posting here Kerry.

Ohio is legal for studded snows Nov 15 to April 15.

Yep , All my vehicles that I drive in the winter get studded tires all the way around , They are legal in Pa for the winter Months , they hurt traction slightly on hard dry surfaces , BUT other than Chains , NOTHING works better , especially on Ice ( Black Ice is the Killer )
