In sec. 2 para 3a StVO the afterward is now stated: “The accessories of automobiles have to be adapted to acclimate conditions. This abnormally includes a acceptable annoy accessories and antifreeze for the windscreen wiper system.” This new adjustment does not accommodate a accepted obligation for snow tyres. In fact, a „situational“ obligation for ascent snow tyres does apply. A prohibition to drive with summer tyres appropriately depends on the accurate acclimate conditions.
Presumably, there will be abounding acknowledged disputes in the approaching as to the catechism if the use of summer tyres is prohibited. In any case an obligation for ascent snow tyres exists for snow and ice. To be on the safe side, however, one should arise tyres with a snowflake attribute or tyres which are apparent as “M+S” (mud and snow) during winter time.

Therefore, it is in actuality recommendable for a bigger assurance as able-bodied as to anticipate abundant claims for amercement to arise tyres, which are either apparent with the snowflake attribute or with “M+S”, in due time.

Problem: Rental Car or Company Car
Both, buyer and disciplinarian of the auto are amenable for a able equipment. The disciplinarian should consistently assert on an auto with snow tyres if the acclimate altitude are winterly as in any case he is amenable for the obligation to drive a well-equipped automobile. Besides, car rental agencies and administration are endangered with a accomplished if they still abandonment automobiles with summer tyres on winterly artery conditions.

In scandinavian countries snow tyres are carefully required. Indeed, this aphorism does not administer to adopted automobiles in Norway and Sweden. As a aftereffect of approaching collective accountability by noncombatant law it is actively recommended to use snow tyres as a foreigner, too.
