Now you can drive on studded tyres in southern Norway
Published
Now it is allowed to drive on studded tyres in southern Norway. Most motorists have studless winter tyres, and they can fit them at any time. Still, many wait a long time before changing.
In northern Norway, studded tyres have been permitted since 16 October. There the winter is long and cold, and the roads can be slippery early in the autumn. That is why it is important for many to have the right tyres well in advance.
Studded tyres provide better grip on ice and snow, but they can damage the road surface and cause more noise and dust. For this reason, there are often stricter rules on when and where they may be used. It is wise to check the current rules before changing tyres.
Motorists should consider the conditions where they live and drive. If you drive a lot on slippery roads, studded tyres may be a good choice. Otherwise, studless winter tyres may be enough.
