Are tire chains legal in Tulsa ok?

Answer 1

Oklahoma Statutes §47-12-405 Paragraph C:

C. 1. Any tire on a vehicle moved on a highway shall not have on its periphery any block, stud, flange, cleat or spike or any other protuberance of any material other than rubber which projects beyond the tread of the traction surface of the tire, except that it shall be permissible:

a. to use farm tractors or implements of husbandry with tires having protuberances which will not injure the highway,

b. to use tire chains of reasonable proportions upon any vehicle when required for safety because of snow, ice, or other conditions tending to cause a vehicle to skid, or

c. for pneumatic tires equipped

with having on their periphery studs

of metal, porcelain or other material

to be sold or used in this state, if

constructed to provide resiliency upon

contact with the road surface, so that

not more than three percent (3%) in

the aggregate of the traction surface

of such tire be composed of such studs

and so that such studs do not project

more than three thirty-seconds (3/32)

of an inch beyond the tread of the

traction surface of such tire and have

a rate of wear which will so limit

such projection.
