| Alaska Tire Tax: | $2.50 Per Tire |
(They call this tax a “Fee” in Alaska.)
There is a tire fee (tax) on all new tires sold in Alaska. However, there is also an additional $5.00 tire fee for the sale of tires with (heavy) studs weighing more than 1.1 grams each - so a new tire purchased with these studs will incur a $7.50 fee (tax).
The additional tire fee applies to the installation of heavy studs in both new and used tires. The division collects tire fees primarily from tire dealerships. Click Here for more information.
