How to check if winter tyres suit Swedish roads

Drivers in Sweden need to check non-studded winter tyres carefully.

Not all tyres sold in Sweden suit local winter road conditions.

Standard non-studded tyres carry a snowflake inside a mountain top symbol.

This basic marking does not guarantee suitability for Nordic winter weather.

Some tyres have an additional voluntary marking on them.

This extra mark shows the tyre passed tests for Swedish winter roads.

Drivers can look for this marking when choosing tyres.
