Toolbox,
On your behalf I'll inform the California Highway Patrol that they are screwing up.
However I do agree that studded snow tires are terrible on dry roads and I do try to get my truck and van drivers to run the less aggressive Firestone Steeltex 23. But since they have to drive in "ALL" conditions those are the tires that they trust to get them there and back.
One other thing people should be aware of is a snow tire has to be aggressive enough to throw the snow out of the treads or the tire will load up (with snow), and be useless as a traction device.
