Vehicle checked in Norway

I suggest choosing proper winter tyres, with the mountain and snowflake symbol. and run on them all year. My logic for doing so was that it saves having two sets of tyres, saves having to change the tyres on the wheels, or having 2 sets of wheels. Neither set in MH use would wear out before needing changing for age, nor will one set of winter tyres if one does say 5,000 miles a year and changes at 6 years.

Winter tyres will do slightly less mpg but the cost is easily saved by not paying for two changes per year and not replacing two sets when only at half life.. There is a slight increase in stopping distance on winter tyres in summer, but marginal.

Norway gov. Advice is....

There are no date restrictions when it comes to non-studded winter tyres. However, you should know that non-studded tyres on summer roads may have poorer performance than summer tyres on wet asphalt.

I noticed that although the requirement for studded tyres is to have them on all 4 wheels there is no mention of this for chains.
I like nicholsong keep winter tyres on all year. I haven't noticed any deterioration in mpg using them ( fill to fill using an app)
