Winter on Norwegian roads – good tires are essential! 
Fewer and fewer drivers in Norway use special studded wheels. Never before has the percentage of drivers using studded winter tires been so low. The If insurance company claims that this is the natural course of events: winters are getting milder, drivers have learned to drive with studless wheels, which are of better and better quality. However, it sends one important message to the world and to its customers. The risk of an accident without good tires increases.
