What counts as winter road conditions?
Snow, ice, slush or frost on any part of the road counts. The police assess the conditions at the location. A standard passenger car needs at least 3 mm of tread when the winter requirement applies. Check the tread and markings before booking, especially if you are unsure what is already mounted on the wheels.
Can I drive on studded tyres in Stockholm?
Studded tyres are normally permitted from 1 October to 15 April, and outside that period if winter conditions apply or are expected. Stockholm also has local restrictions. The city’s maps show which parts of Hornsgatan, Fleminggatan and Kungsgatan are affected and where you may cross them.
When should I book the change?
Check the forecast for when you actually drive. An early morning and a mild afternoon can bring different conditions. If you already have four complete winter wheels, you can book a mobile wheel change in Stockholm. Choose a level place where the work can be done safely. See how to prepare at home or work.
