While obviously too late for you trip, perhaps this bit of advice will help others that view this thread. Winter rated tires are now required by law in our three dear countries. They are required whenever winter weather is active or road conditions are wintery (snow/slush/ice). Luckily, most all season tires fit the "winter" requirements (as indicated by a M+S and/or the mountiain/snowflake pictogram). However, many cars are equipped with summer tires standard so you have to specifically request winter tires to guarantee them on your car.
