Are winter tires exempt from installing chains when chains are required in the passes?

FWD/RWD with winter tires would not be exempt from chains when AWD are exempt.

@sosnocor

only AWD vehicles are exempt from putting on if they have winter tires or some other alternative. Non-AWD vehicles are not exempt even with alternative traction.

Huh. Who would’ve thought.

Yay, great for you!
