It is a legal requirement here in Sweden to use snow tires when the temp goes down during the winter, I have studded tires in the winter, and next week is the last date you may drive with studded tires.
I’ve always been curious about laws like that. Is there a date they have to be start being used by? Is it whenever you notice the temperature hit a certain level? What happens if it bounces back up? Do you have to keep switching? Is there some kind of national announcement?
Studded allowed from 1st October 15 april, or any other time when it is or expected to be winter conditions, which is snow or ice at any part of the road.
Must have m+s marked tyres from 1st Dec - 31 March if winter conditions. Studded or not. Studded are not allowed in some cities in the South.
You have a fairly long time between “must have” and “must not have” and in addition you can argue winter conditions until something like June up north.
The law say that you have to have winter tires if there are winter conditions on the road.
The law also states that studded tires may be used between the first of October and the fifteenth of april, you may still use studded tires outside of that timeframe, if there are conditions to motivate them.
