protuberance of any material other than rubber which projects beyond the tread
of the traction surface of the tire. Farm machinery having protuberances which

however, be sold. It shall also be permissible to sell studded tires whose use
is permitted under the provisions of this article. Violation of this section
shall constitute a Class 1 misdemeanor.
