French Mountain Tyre Regulations (1 Viewer)

[varaizian]

Just a reminder that the law requiring snow chains, snow socks or all-season tyres, which came into force in November 2021, allowed a period of 3 years for the use of tyres rated at M+S (Mud & Snow) rather than the 3PMSF (3 Peak Mountain Snowflake) symbol.
That period of tolerance comes to an end on 1 November this year and the penalty for non-compliance is €135.

Thanks. We’ll be heading back up through France early November, but this link has a more accurate map, which suggests it doesn’t apply to the main A63 coastal route from Irun heading north. http://www.securite-routiere.gouv.f...-en-voiture/equipement-de-la-voiture/nouveaux

Just to be clear, is that just for the winter season or all year round?
