AFAIK, if the state your car is registered in allows studs, and you are on
vacation, your state's laws are applicable.  In the 6 or so years I have
been using studs, I have not had a problem visiting other states with them
on.  I'd call the WA police, ask them if that is the case.  If a cop pulls
you over with them on in an illegal state, and your car is registered in
WA, I think you'll be OK.  I've not had problems, and IMHO, the safety of
the studs outweighs a potential ticket.  Best of luck, and unfortunately, I
cannot and did not answer your question.
