Winter tyres (M+ S tyres) im prove safety at
tem peratures below 7 °C and should
therefore be fitted on all the wheels.
The d esign of summ er tyres mea ns they
have limited qualities for winter driving.
If the maxim um perm issible speed for the
winter ty res is less than that of the vehicle,
a notice ind icating the ma ximum
permissible speed for the tyres must be
affixed within the driver's field of v ision
Use of a spa re wheel fitted with a sum mer
tyre may affect the vehicle's driveability,
especially on slippery road surfaces.
