Suddenly remembered that from 1st Nov 2022 will need snow tyres / chains for 48 hilly areas in France. Is there a way back from the Med without them or will we need chains TIA
 
Think this might answer it.


"Thanks for your query.

Michelin don't manufacture a specific cold weather (winter) tyre in a motorhome fitment, however, the Agilis 2 camping is M+S (mud and snow) marked to give sufficient grip when occasionally travelling in difficult conditions such as unsurfaced roads, mud and snow.

This M+S marking complies with European legislation where in certain countries it is obligatory during certain periods of the year to have cold weather (winter) tyres fitted.

If you need further assurance to tackle the most demanding snow conditions, then carrying snow chains of the correct size can be a good idea"

Will go and check the tires. Always something gets in the way.
 
Are snow socks compliant? I think they are but am happy to be corrected.

If so get a set: cheaper and lightweight too.
 
I have recently fitted Agilis Cross Climate, which are 3PMS, to the front, and very pleased with them, so will do so on the rear as well when required (which I would certainly expect to be before I might look at winter in France).

M+S (depending on when fitted, after 2018/19 I think) are no longer sufficient in Germany. You need 3PMSF there in wintery conditions

They are very reassuring.

I had cause to brake hard on a greasy road recently and they behaved impeccably. Felt significantly better than any previous tyres on the 'van.
