That is good Technical info Jan. Could do with finding a European equivalent. The principle is the the same though.

caron-a Thanks also, but now I'm a bit worried :shock:
Tony H neither, just bored and surfin.
Dave Mac Thanks for the welcome if you are into idle chit chat there is a 40+ page thread on i phones on snowHeads as well )
But, one bit of info to come out of that tyre thread is that Winter tyres are indeed now compulsory in Austria as below

Thanks for the site info boredsurfin, and welcome.
Twas good that you stopped at just about the only relevant bit of thread. Unfortunately, I didn't realise that until I had read through a whole pile of turgid worms. The relevant stopping distances are quite revealing.
It also reminded me why I like to read the threads on J2ski, rather than elsewhere.

But, one bit of info to come out of that tyre thread is that Winter tyres are indeed now compulsory in Austria as below
from UK FCORoad Travel in Winter (1 November-15 April)
New legislation, which comes into force on 1 January 2008, demands that all vehicles with up to 3.5 tonnes laden weight use winter tyres on all wheels in wintery road conditions (snow, slush, ice). Snow chains on the driving wheels will only be allowed as an alternative where the road is fully covered by snow and/or ice and the road surface will not be damaged by the chains. Chains or summer tyres will not be allowed for slush conditions. Heavy fines or temporary loss of vehicle may be imposed on those who ignore this legislation.

Do you think it is likely that cars hired at Munich Airport in December will have winter tyres on them?
