I am not Swedish 850 1996

I am from Greece but I am (or was) familiar with their tire requirements. I was in Sweden, last time, about 2.5 years ago and at that time it was a requirement to have studded tires. After some research, I found out that last year they changed the requirement to winter tires although they recommend the new studded tires out there, called "low-noise studs". In Gothenburg, the asphalt is a different mix than here; they use SMA (Stone MAtric Asphalt) which lasts 30-40% longer than ordinary asphalt. The new law also pushed the date of winter tires required from November 1 to December 1 until March 31, each year.
