To what must you pay particular attention when driving with winter tyres?

When driving with winter tyres in Germany, it is important to pay attention to the maximum speed allowed for those tyres. Each winter tyre has a speed rating indicating the maximum speed it can safely handle. Exceeding this limit can be dangerous as the tyre may overheat or become unstable. Unlike snow chains, which have a general speed limit of 50 km/h, winter tyres do not have a fixed speed limit like 80 km/h, but you must follow the tyre manufacturer's specified maximum speed. Always check the speed rating on the tyre sidewall and never surpass it to ensure safe driving conditions.
