Oregon drivers will not be required to remove studded fires until May 15th.
Information from the Oregon Department of Transportation said the deadline had previously been extended from April 1st to May 1st.
While studded tires are allowed in Oregon by law from November 1^st through March 31st, ODOT decided to again extend that deadline in response to the continuing public health emergency of COVID-19. Drivers are encouraged to have their studded tires removed before May 15th if it can reasonably be done while maintaining social distancing.
