Legality of Studded Tyres?
Hi
I'm starting a long winter 4x4 trip across Russia and back next month (I hope), and I ill at some point need to get proper winter tyres (with studs) for safety.
My plan was to get them in Russia in October, but I'm toying with the idea of getting them in Europe.
I'll be crossing Netherlands, Germany, Polan, Lithuania, Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia to get into Russia.
Is it legal to drive with studded tyres across these countries in September?? I know it is a legal requirement to have winter or M+S tyres in these countries in winter (typically Nov to Mar / Apr), but I can't seem to find much that says it is illagal outside of these times.
I know that studded tyres make a hell of a noise on dry asphalt, so it will be pretty obvious. And I'm not a fan of German police...
Thanks
EO
