Boy am I about to get in over my head (let's just say there was a
significant difference in my math and verbal SAT scores).
It says "anywhere" in the country (poor choice of words perhaps), not
everywhere in the country, right? As Montana has no tread depth
requirement, I'm covered, right?

It certainly is a shame that the Azenis is so hard to come by in some areas.
Do you suppose that this jeopardizes its legality, in regards to the "equal
access to all competitors" rule? Not trying to start anything, just curious.
=====================================
I doubt it. As someone else pointed out to me, those folks in the Northwest
Les Schwab Territories are still able to order from online retailers such as
Vulcantires.com or onlinetires.com and have them shipped to their homes or
businesses.
I'd sooner question the legality of STS tires that have less than 2/32"
tread left. Since such tires are not legal for use on any roads in the
continental United States I say they're illegal for STS use.
Quoting the opening paragraph of the 2002 STS rules section: "This category
provides a natural competition outlet for auto enthusiasts using affordable
sport sedans equipped with common suspension, engine and appearance
modifications which are fully legal and compatible for street use anywhere
in the country."
Please carefully read the last eleven words of that paragraph. Semantics I
know, but according to the letter of the rules I'm right.
