Vt. Stat. Ann. tit. 23, § 1092

No person may operate or move upon or over any highway or bridge a vehicle, machine, or contrivance that has any flange, ribs, clamps, or other object attached to or made a part of its wheels that will injure, cut into, or destroy the surface of the highway or bridge to any appreciable extent. This provision does not restrict the right of any person to use tires that are equipped with “studs” or “cleats,” so-called, of a type designed for general use to facilitate travel in winter.
