No, Germany has a situational winter tyre obligation. You must use appropriate winter tyres when driving on ice, black ice, packed snow, slush, or hoarfrost.
The Alpine symbol (a three-peak mountain with a snowflake) indicates that a tyre meets specific performance criteria for winter conditions. Since October 2024, only tyres with this symbol are legally considered winter tyres in Germany, with some exceptions for older M+S tyres.
All-season tyres with only the M+S marking are considered winter tyres until September 30, 2024, if they were produced before December 31, 2017. After this date, all new winter and all-season tyres must have the Alpine symbol.
The legal minimum tread depth for winter tyres is 1.6 mm, but for optimal safety and grip in winter conditions, the ADAC recommends a minimum of 4 mm.
If you drive without the legally required winter tyres in winter conditions, you face a fine of 60 Euros and one point in Flensburg. If your vehicle impedes traffic due to this, the fine increases to 80 Euros.
Snow chains are required on roads marked with the 'snow chain required' sign (a blue circular sign with a white tyre and snow chain symbol). When using snow chains, your speed is limited to 50 km/h.
By completing Winter Driving Laws, you will gain stronger rule knowledge, faster recognition of signs and situations, better decision making in traffic scenarios, and increased accuracy on exam style questions used in Germany. These outcomes directly support higher scoring exam performance.
