Attention, this is your personal reminder: If you haven't yet made an appointment to change your tires, you should do it quickly. The weather-related winter equipment obligation comes into force on November 1. The same for all road users and throughout Europe? Wrong! We have all the details for you.

It's getting gloomy, wet and cold again - and so the winter tire obligation is just around the corner. However, this is not the same for all road users - and not in other countries either. We asked the ÖAMTC what the details of the obligation are for Austria and its neighboring countries.
