I've no knowledge of these tyres, and given the lack of info I personally would avoid them.
Just for info, here is the German Embassy notification from last year:
www.london.diplo.de/Vertretung/london/en/04/Transp...l
I was also sent this translation of the ADAC site from a German colleague of a friend of mine :
The "winter tires" Regulation
On 4 December 2010 which entered into force Regulation, a concretization of the
existing legal position since 2006. An explicit obligation to winter tires now
applies to those who drive at "black ice, snow, ice, slush, ice or hoarfrost on
the road" on the road is - authentic way for foreign-registered motor vehicles.
Conclusion
In general, winter tires are not required with the new law!
Only one who drives on "ice, slush ... .." with summer tires, risk a fine - this
is the current legal uncertainty lifted. Anyone for whom riding on "ice, slush
..." can be reliably avoided, can continue to keep the summer season tires! And
of course those people can switch to public transport where appropriate - this
is especially important in traditionally wintery areas and for owners of second
cars or old cars.
Winter and all-season tires
Tires M + S identification meet the requirements of the winter tire regulation.
The ADAC recommends tires with snow and snowflake symbol (see logo). Also,
all-season tires with this label meet the requirement!
Go safe,
G.
