New tyres

Me and my family are going to Germany in November to visit our friends and relatives and apart from all expenditures connected with the journey itself, that is petrol, currency and small gifts, we have just found out that probably it is necessary to buy new winter tyres if you want to travel around Germany in November. There is nothing weird with these tyres in November but this year we have really beautiful weather. It is still very warm, about thirteen or seventeen degrees so no one is really thinking about winter tyres. We have heard that it is obligatory to have special tyres in Germany as of 1 November. Actually, we needed confirmation and different people supported different versions - some people say that it is obligatory and some say that it is advisable but not compulsory. Also those who live in Germany had different opinions about it, which is rather strange. So we decided to buy new winter tyres earlier than planned. We had to buy them anyway but the decision had to be made earlier. So unfortunately this is connected with additional expenditures just before our journey. So today after work we are going to buy new winter tyres for our car.
