Winter tire regulations and best practices in Norway

aftenposten.no (Swedish)

Winter tires are legally required from November 1st to the first Sunday after Easter, with specific dates for Northern Norway. Using summer tires in cold weather is not recommended due to reduced grip and longer braking distances. The minimum tread depth for winter tires is three millimeters, though four millimeters is advised. Studded tires have specific usage periods, but exceptions are made for hazardous road conditions. Tire age, not just tread depth, affects performance, and older tires should be replaced. Choosing tires with low rolling resistance and maintaining correct tire pressure can improve fuel efficiency and electric vehicle range.
