After a lot of searching of websites and forums trying to find out what tyres I would have to have for the Austrian winter, 1st November to 15th April. I got a very quick response from Mitchelin. Now I know full blown winter tyres would be best but for me that would be £1140.00 cheapest I found, six tyres.
I would not be in a position to change back after Austria as we intend to go further afield. I have Mitchelin Camping tyres.
Thank you for your enquiry about the suitability of mud and snow camping tyres in Austria.
We can confirm that the mud and snow marking on the Agilis Camping tyres conforms to European winter tyre laws. Please be aware however that some countries have a legal requirement that for the tyre to be classed as a winter tyre the tread depth must be 4mm or above. When the tread depth drops to below 4mm then the tyre is classed as a summer tyre and therefore the M+S marking is no longer applicable.
Should you require any further assistance please contact us on 0845 366 1590 (UK & NI) or 0044 (0) 1782 401590 (ROI), quoting the reference number above.
Hope this helps anybody who was as confused as I was
