Registration regulations in the Federal Republic of Germany
Only when winter tyres are in use may the top speed that a vehicle can achieve be greater than the maximum speed specified by the speed symbol of the tyre.
In this case, a label stating the following must be attached:
   
Important! Winter tyres!
Maximum speed … km/h

  Note
This label must be clearly visible to the driver!
Winter tyre inflation pressures
The tyre pressure for winter tyres must be 0.2 bar more than the applicable tyre pressure for standard tyres but not more than 3.5 bar.
