It is not commonly known, but they are in New Jersey in "areas
likely to receive significant snow accumulation", until April 1
of each year.

What I'd like to know is,
   (1) Who determines that an area is "likely to receive..."
       I mean, North NJ and South NJ really aren't that all far
       apart!
   (2) What happens to you if you drive from a "likely" area to an
       "unlikely" area and just happen to forget to stop and change
       your tires?

                             Hmmmmmmmm,
                             Michael Sajor, BTL-WH, harpo!mes

After living in Connecticut for 19 years, and having studded snow tires
on my Opel last year, I belive they are permitted ONLY from Nov. 1 -
April 1.  If memory serves me correctly, this was why I had no snow
tires on my car during the April blizzard of 1982.
