In the autumn of 1971, the Department of Highways began an evaluation of the effect of studded tire usage on Montana pavement surfaces. During winters of 1972 and 1973, approximately forty-five percent of Montana drivers used studded tires. Pavement surfaces are ice or snow packed during the worst winter months approximately 30% of the time. On high type bituminous concrete pavement the average wear for a two year period was less than 1/16 inches or a 1/2 inch of wear in approximately 20 years. It would appear that because of relatively light traffic volumes, studded tire wear does not significantly increase costs of maintaining Montana's pavement surfaces.
