Figured someone in charge had a relative with a tire company. Pretty much how things happen around there, it seems.

the law was very controversial cause it did not define exactly what a winter tire is and finally renewed just a month ago. now real winter tires are mandatory from november to march - which is a good thing imo. too many idiots with summer tires on ice and snow around who cause traffic jams and accidents. but the law does not cover trucks - unfortunately. transportation companies claim that it would be too expensive and due to the weight not necessary. hundreds of accidents this winter proof the opposite
