Even if no report will be drawn up this year, winter tires, sometimes called snow tires, become compulsory in certain mountainous areas as of November 1, 2021. Argus therefore offers you a small guide to promotional offers to buy them at the best price.
The manufacturers are categorical: as soon as the temperature drops below 7 degrees Celsius, the rubber of a summer tire loses its effectiveness. Winter tires, often called snow tires, are therefore not only useful on snowy or icy roads. As soon as the cold hits, they make it possible to gain grip and reduce braking distances. But if it is so much in the news this year, it is because that they will become compulsory in France in certain mountainous municipalities between the 1er November and March 31. A relative obligation since the police will limit themselves to teaching this year. To avoid the grumbling about a measure that is still poorly understood and fairly complex management, no report will be drawn up during the winter of 2021-2022.

4-season tires also accepted
Not a reason, however, to completely forget the idea of buying winter tires, especially if you live in an area with an often harsh climate. If you are only passing through, for example to go skiing, know that the Mountain law also provides that you can be satisfied with chains or snow socks. A solution for more limited use, but less expensive. As for the so-called “4-season” tires, which are supposed to be able to be kept all year round to simplify logistics, they are also accepted if they bear the M + S, M&S or MS indication, which must be completed with the alpine symbol 3PMSF at from 2024.
