Supplementary “108” indicates that these tyres are retreaded and intended to be used in motor vehicles, i.e. passanger cars and their trailers, while “109” indicates that these tyres are intended to be used in utility vehicles and their trailers.

[Translate to English:] M+S

[Translate to English:] M+S-Symbol („Mud and Snow“)
In Deutschland besteht – auch für im Ausland zugelassene Fahrzeuge – die sogenannte situative Winterreifenpflicht. Demzufolge sind mit „M+S“ gekennzeichnete Winter- sowie Ganzjahresreifen bei winterlichen Verhältnissen obligatorisch.

Verstöße werden mit Bußgeldern und auch 1 Punkt im Bundeszentralregister in Flensburg geahndet. Weitreichendere Folgen können sich im – auch nicht selbstverursachten – Schadenfall seitens der Kfz-Versicherung ergeben. Im Zweifelsfall wäre der Fahrzeugführer nachweispflichtig, dass eine Abweichung von der vorschriftsmäßigen Bereifung nicht ursächlich für den entstandenen Schaden war.

Am Ende bestünde zudem immer das erhöhte Risiko einer Gefährdung für die Gesundheit aller Verkehrsteilnehmer.

The WT80 is characterised by excellent driving on snow. This is true for tracking + also for braking + acceleration. This is achieved thanks to honeycomb sipe structure. Extent grooves anchored in the profile as well as recesses decrease the risk of aquaplaning.
