How does it work in the Alps with these winter rated tyres when the police are enforcing chains etc? Do they let people through with that type of tyre or do they still insist on chains or socks too?
My experience in Switzerland is that it depends on the conditions. Most people will have winter tyres anyway. Chains are much better than winter tyres but you obviously only put them on when really required. The authorities there seem to use their discretion based on what is required at the time.
I would like to see something similar here but our weather varies so much regionally and from year to year I'd be surprised if it ever got any traction (see what I did there).
