ED delivery on 10/13. Should I rent winter tires?
I feel like I'll be right on the cusp. I do plan to travel into the Alps (Zuspitze, etc). Do you guys think winter tires will be necessary?
Side question: if I do rent winter tires, is it delivered with those already installed at the Welt? |

So my question is, will 10/13 through 10/20 be a safe time of year to travel with summer tires, or should I rent winter tires? It's going to be like $300 to rent them, so I want to be sure they're needed first. |

You do not want to be on summer tires when the temperature is in the (F) 40s or lower. Here are the average temps for major European cities in October: http://www.currentresults.com/Weathe...re-october.php http://www.weatherbase.com/weather/w...Munich-Germany |

My advice, just rent the tires or ask them to install A/S tires instead of the MPSS's. Ask yourself if possibly being liable for tens of thousands of Euros is worth it to skip out on the $300 to rent them. Oh and it will be hard to leave the country should you be involved and found personally liable. Bavaria is unpredictable at best from around the middle of September through May. I've lived here for 3 years. It was 50 degrees two weeks ago here if that's any indication. If you are going to Garmisch then for sure get the tires. It's colder down there near the mountains.
