Winter motorcycle tyres, to date in Italy it is not mandatory to fit them either on normal motorbikes, much less on scooters, it is simply a common sense choice that allows you to reduce the risk of accidents and fines.
Indeed, it must be remembered that drive on icy roads or covered with snow at least for now it is prohibited by law because it is considered highly dangerous.
To face the coldest season however, it is always advisable to mount winter tires on motorcycles, just like the obligation for cars says, which comes into force on November 15th and extends until April 15th.
The difference between the obligation of winter tires for cars and motorcycles
For 4-wheeled vehicles, it is mandatory fit winter tyres or have chains on board to be ready to face any emergency in the event of an icy road or snowfall.
In these cases, two-wheeled vehicles cannot circulate, which is why there is no road code that obliges motorcyclists to fit winter tires on their vehicles.
Unfortunately, however, if you find yourself outside and suddenly it snows, somehow you have to go home, so be well equipped is really the minimum.
This year, from 15 November to 15 April, both motorbikes and scooters can be fitted with winter tires to be able to go out even in uncomfortable conditions without risking huge fines. In these cases the vehicle should be equipped with m + so MST tyres.
Which motorcycle tires are particularly recommended
The choice of winter tires to mount depends only on your wishes and the amount you want to spend. Rather than not being able to go out or risking both life and a fine, it is better to choose the best tyres. Among these we find the Anlas Winter Grip Plus, which can be ridden all year round.
The tire in question guarantees grip even on wet or cold roads. There is no risk of losing control of the vehicle even on a rainy day or in particular weather conditions.
Followed by the Heidenau k 60S tires dedicated to motorcycles, to those with an off-road natureallow you to travel kilometers on snow at very low temperatures or on mud without losing grip.
Then there are the Heidenau k66S LT which are instead suitable for scooters, composed of a mix of high quality textile fibers and silica rubber. Scooters fitted with these tires can travel safely in any season.
