In Switzerland, we have the October-to-Easter (O to E) rule, that reminds car drivers, when’s the best time to change tires from summer to winter and the way back.
If you live in or drive the mountains, you’ll be safe, to change the winter tires with the beginning of October or sooner, than in urban areas.
Otherwise you can use the weather as your tyre-fit-guide: if the outdoor temperature falls below seven degrees Celsius, the time has come to switch to winter tyres.
In Switzerland, there is no legal obligation to fit your vehicle with winter tires. however, drivers must always maintain control of their vehicle.
Please don’t wait for the first snowfall! In our opinion it is worth changing the winter tire, a couple of weeks before the first snow falls.
Even though winter tires are not compulsory during winter, it is strongly advisable to have them fitted on your car between October and April.
Swiss winter land: All you need to know about driving in snowy conditions — driving in winter won’t be much trouble if you’re well-prepared.

It is not compulsory to have winter tires but strongly recommended. In case of an accident, you may be found liable if the car isn’t equipped properly.
Winter tyres are necessary in snowy areas in Switzerland and required during certain times of the year. During the same time in winter, on top of the mountains, snow chains are required by law, because of the amount of snow.
Did you know the difference between changing tyres and changing wheels?
The Tyre change work, contains on pulling off the tyre from the rim before another tyre will fitted to the same rim again.
When changing a wheel, the complete wheel (tyre and rim together) will be changed.
When do I have to change my tyres?

Old, worn tyres should not be let out of sight. It is always a good advice to monitor the shape of your tyres and change them in good state.
