- Studded tires have small metal protrusions inserted into the rubber to improve tire-road friction in bad weather conditions like snow or ice. Although studded tires help drivers in bad weather, some states restrict the use of studs or ban them because of the damage to road surfaces.
- Laws regarding studded tires may change at any time. Information displayed should not be considered legally authoritative. Interested parties are advised to confirm legality with state or local Department of Transportation officials.
Throughout the United States, there are designated areas that are federally owned by the government. When land is federally owned, that means that the government handles its operations, and citizens can enjoy the territories for themselves. This statement brings up a new question: How much federal land does each state possess? Each state below is ranked using the percentage of federal land in relation to the total acreage of land in the state.
