(A) No tire on a vehicle moved on a highway or street shall have on its periphery any block, stud, flange, clear, or spike, or any protuberances of any material other than rubber which projects beyond the tread of the traction surface of the tire except that is shall be permissible to use tire chains of reasonable proportions upon any vehicle when required for safety because of snow, ice, or other conditions tending to cause a vehicle to slide or skid; provided, however, notwithstanding anything therein to the contrary, it shall be lawful to operate upon the highways and streets of this city motor vehicles equipped with pneumatic tires in which there are embedded metal studs or wires of tungsten steel or other similar material.
(B) The Board of Commissioners may in its discretion issue special permits authorizing the operation upon a highway of traction engines or tractors having movable tracks with transverse corrugations upon the periphery of such movable tacks or farm tractors or other farm machinery.
