Already on the first of October, it is allowed to put on studded winter tires on your car, but according to several tire workshops SVT has been in contact with, many have not done so yet.
- You are always just as surprised that autumn is coming and these frost mornings appear, says Johan Löfstedt traffic police.
From the first of December, it is a requirement to have winter tires on the car.
When the police do speed checks, they also check during the period that the vehicles have winter tires.
Drivers who drive with summer tires during the winter risk a fine of SEK 1,200.
