As the forum heading says some off topic is ok, I have the following question for the Swiss guys.
Me and some friends are driving this year for our annual skiing (well snowboarding) hols. We are going to Verbier. This will be the first time we are driving, we normally fly.
So question is, to drive to Verbier at Christmas, do I need winter tyres? I will be taking snow chains, but do I have to get new tyres too? I am driving my CRV not the NSX (this time!).
In the UK we do not change our tyres to winter ones, we use the same all year round.
We'll only be driving to Verbier town, and parking there. We're not going to be driving up any mountains.
