Before you goItaly, 16 May – 14 October: winter or all-season tyres whose speed index is below the one in the vehicle's papers are not allowed — trailers and motorhomes included. That is a motoring club's reading, not the Italian ordinance — check your tyres' speed index against the registration document.
On the roadGermany sets no winter-tyre dates — the duty bites on ice, packed snow or slush, and then the tyres must carry the alpine symbol (three peaks and a snowflake).
On the roadIn the French mountains, 1 November – 31 March, the signed communes of 34 departments want four 3PMSF tyres, or chains or snow socks for two driven wheels in the car.
On the roadItaly, 15 November – 15 April: winter tyres on, or chains in the car. The Aosta Valley starts on 15 October, and on the Brenner A22 the kit must be aboard even in sunshine. That is a motoring club's reading, not the Italian ordinance — check the road operator's own notice.
