Swedish law currently requires winter tyres from December to March, but a new proposal could change this based on weather conditions. Stakeholders have until April to give feedback on two options: remove set dates for tyres according to climate or extend the requirement to all vehicles from November to mid-April. This proposed change follows significant traffic incidents where many vehicles were stranded for extended periods, raising concerns about safety in the face of worsening weather due to climate change.
Current Swedish law mandates winter tyres from December 1st to March 31st, but a proposal could change this based on feedback from organizations.
The proposed changes aim to improve safety amid predictions of worsening weather conditions due to climate change, evidenced by recent incidents on Swedish motorways.
Options under consideration include removing the set dates for winter tyre use or extending the period for all vehicles to November 1st - April 15th.
Recent incidents underscored the necessity for change, as many vehicles were stranded for hours due to inadequate winter preparations.
