Is there a mandatory winter tire rule in Denmark?

What vehicle preparations are needed for winter driving in Denmark?

For winter, ensure your car is prepared with appropriate tires, check antifreeze levels, test the battery, use winter washer fluid, and have an ice scraper. Importantly, you must clear all snow and ice from your entire vehicle, including the roof, as this is a legal requirement.
