Are all season tyres passable as winter tyres in places like Austria and Switzerland?
Nankang and STar Performer do some all seaosn ones that look decent. My current Continental are summer only with naf all grip for snow/ice.
Presumably, if you have these tyres, you do not also need snow chains?
I suppose I could have a set of winter tyres and a set of summer but doesn;t seem much point in the UK.
I have Kleber Quadraxer on mine, they are an "All Season" tyre with the 3 peak mountain and snowflake symbol on them which means that they are approved for use in areas where snow tyres are mandatory.
Don't buy the cheap eastern brands, they may appear to have the correct symbols on but if you search on her you will find threads where the symbols are mirrored and obviously faked. You only get what you pay for.
I have both summer and winter tyres, wheels of e-bay are cheap and overall don't add to your motoring cost. Actually I save, the Klebers were £74 each, my summer tyres are £170 each.
