There is in Germany no generally applicable winter tire requirement for a defined period during the cold season. However, the road traffic regulations dictate how cars should be covered with frost on slippery roads, slush and black ice, as well as ice and frost. This corresponds to a winter tire requirement, according to the situation in winter. If you don't follow these rules, you have to go a point in Flensburg and of course one Fines (€) the rechner. If the police catch a driver who drives with summer tires in winter, he must pay at least 60 euros.

All-season tires and winter tires with the well-known M + S (stands for mud and snow) met the requirements of the legislature until a few years ago. But after a long transition period that has changed: Tires with a production year from 01.01.2018 are considered winter-compliant if they have the M + S marking have, but also that Alpine symbol. The reason for this is that only tires with the Alpine symbol meet the American standard for winter tires. It is a globally recognized test procedure. Now applies: Tires that were manufactured by the end of 2017 and that only have the M + S marking can still be driven until the 30.09.24 deadline, in winter conditions. However, there are only a few all-season tires and winter tires omnipresent in traffic that only bear this mark. Both markings have been on the tire sidewalls for years.

Also note the speed index!

The maximum speed that is allowed when driving with winter tires also has high priority. This corresponds namely not always the top speed of a car. Here you have to know that winter tires are softer than summer tires. If you drive faster than allowed, you accept that the carcass (= the supporting structure) will heat up and the tires may burst as a result. Therefore, even the insurance company is active and recommends that its members ensure that when changing tires in the workshop that the maximum speed is noted on a slip on the dashboard or that the electronic display of a car is set accordingly and warns the driver. It goes without saying that in this regard the size of the tires corresponds to the size as defined by the vehicle manufacturer.
