FWD low on grip - Solved !

Thanks Red. I've seen that there are M+S rated all weather tires available.

A new rule in Germany (since may this year) says that you have to be adequatly equiped (i.e. winter tires and spare window washer fluid) once you end up in bad weather conditions. If not you can get in trouble with the police, even (or especially) if you are a foreigner. The worst thing that can happen is that you get blamed in case of an accident that wasn't your fault because they blame you for being irresponsible.

However, I've decided to go for normal summer tires. The reason I'm taking the risk is because my car doesn't drive much and most is done in summer and in the Netherlands. Winter tires in the Netherlands is still sort of crap since we have at most two days of snow here in a year.

Besides this I'm going to Denmark from the north of Holland so it's not that far trough Germany and we're hoping not to see really bad weather the coming days. If I would be going to the south of Germany to do some skiing it would be a totally different store.

Looking forward to it :-) Road tripping is cool and it's even cooler if you don't get to drive your car that often :-)
