All season/winter tyres (4 Viewers)

Here's a winter tyres test from a German motorhome mag from 2022. I'll try and find the latest one. We have the conti winter tyres fitted. Last winter we were in Lapland, where it was rather cold and snowy. We didn't see any tarmac just fresh snow over compacted snow. However, not one vehicle was fitted with snow chains, just winter tyres. They were not hanging around either

Perhaps they were studded tyres, not winter tyres.

Interesting, maybe for those who were bombing around. I walked around the town centre car park and didn't see any. They were mostly the new mountain logo.

Yes. Nearly everyone had studded tyres in Norway and Lapland when we were there in Oct / Nov. They get much more ice there hence the studded tyres. I did develop studded tyre envy as I only had winter tyres. Worth mentioning there's a difference in compound with winter tyres for Arctic regions compared with say Germany and Austria. I believe they use an even softer winter compound in Arctic regions.
