As of November 1, winter tires will once again be mandatory in Austria. At the ÖAMTC in Kematen (Tyrol), "Krone" editor Nicole Greiderer found out how to change the wheels correctly and how to get the whole car ready for winter.

I have to admit that I'm always late myself. It's usually already November when my car gets its winter tires. And I usually haven't checked whether everything is really ready for winter. You can check a lot of things at home - for example, whether the lights are working and the windshield washer system is running without smearing.
