We're talking about Germany, where there is no temperature stipulation in the 'winter conditions' definition. It's explained here: https://www.eurocampings.co.uk/blog/lis ... s-germany/

Agreed, Ray, at least here in the UK.

Winter tyres are a sensible precaution, even if not a flake of snow falls all winter.

The grip is much better than on summer tyres, even in dry weather, when the temperatures are below 7 degrees centigrade. The difference is more marked when it is cold & wet.
