In Sweden, anything classed as "M+S" (mud and snow) qualifies as a winter tyre. And if you say that all-season tyres are also marked with "M+S", then they are equivalent. Which means that we're actually all in favour of driving on the same tyres(?) But you said in a previous posting that you would rather drive on all-season than winter tyres. How do you mean? //Robert
