You are prohibited from driving a commercial motor vehicle with which of the following on a highway?

Driving a commercial motor vehicle equipped with studded rims on a highway is typically prohibited due to safety and regulatory concerns. Studded tires are designed for enhanced traction on icy roads but can cause significant damage to road surfaces, leading to increased maintenance costs and potentially hazardous driving conditions for other vehicles. Many jurisdictions have specific regulations that restrict or ban studded tires during certain seasons, reflecting the need to balance safety for commercial drivers with the overall integrity of public roadways.

In contrast, winter tires, low-profile tires, and all-terrain tires have defined applications that are generally considered acceptable for use on highways, provided they meet the basic safety standards and regulations. Winter tires are designed for cold temperatures and icy conditions, low-profile tires can provide better handling at higher speeds, and all-terrain tires are built to handle a variety of surfaces. Each of these options can contribute positively to vehicle performance in their respective contexts without the same level of concern related to road damage as studded rims.
