Plan for winter driving
Overview
If you drive, winter is a real season.
The question you never knew to ask“Do I need winter tyres, and when should I book the change?”
Why it matters
Your garage can advise on tyres and when to book.
Does this apply to me?
Your circumstances: Canton Bern, B permit, mixed nationalities, family with children, moving with a partner, arriving soon
Because someone in your household will drive.
When?
Before the first cold snap.
What do I need?
Nothing to prepare beyond your own notes.
What do I do next?
- Ask your garage what it recommends.
- Book the change early in autumn.
