Realy!! I have spent a lot of time in Spain in the winter and I have never yet seen a snow tyre on a vehicle. I haven't seen any snow either.

Since May 2006 German motorists have been required by law to use the most appropriate tyres for the weather conditions. In practice this means most drivers keep two sets of tyres – 'winter tyres' for the colder months when many roads are snow-covered and 'summer' tyres for the remainder of the year.

The German law requiring 'appropriate tyres' is national legislation only.
