Operating in winter conditions

All-year (or "winter") tyres
All-season or "winter"tyres (indicated by an M+S or a mountain peak/snow-
flake symbol ) to improve the performance of the vehicle in winter condi-
tions.
For the best possible handling, use all-season or "winter" tyres on all four
wheels with a minimum tread depth of 4 mm.
If using "winter" tyres, fit the summer tyres on again in good time as they pro-
vide better handling properties, a shorter braking distance, less tyre noise, and
reduced tyre wear on roads which are free of snow and ice as well as at tem-
peratures above 7 °C.
