tires
The tires included with short-term, tax-free leases are multi-season tires.
By "multi-season" we mean tires that are not specifically designed for muddy and snowy conditions
(which tires bear the code "M+S") or for snowy conditions in particular (which tires bear the international
symbol of a snowflake); i.e they are not — we repeat, not — the sort of tires which
are colloquially referred to as "winter tires" or "snow tires".
Rather, multi-season tires are the sort of tires standardly delivered on new cars.
Where and when road or weather conditions, and perhaps laws or ordinances or such, dictate the wise or requisite
use of specific tires or specifically embellished tires (e.g. tires fitted with snow chains or socks), it is the
driver's responsibility to abstain from driving until such tires are installed on his or her vehicle.
It is nevertheless the client's responsibility to return the vehicle with the initial (i.e. original) set of tires
installed or co-present; otherwise the client will be billed for those initial tires.
Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Norway and Sweden, for example, have laws which dictate the use of winter tires.
It is the client's responsibility to research and understand such laws in relation to his or her itinerary.
Renault Eurodrive has instituted a new service with the Eurodrive Road Assistance in order to facilitate,
upon client request, the change from multi-season tires to winter tires, this via the Renault network in
Switzerland and in Germany. This service consists in identifying the closest Renault garage to the place where the
client is or will be and then arranging an appointment for the client with the garage.
The purchase and labor costs for the change of tires will be billed directly by the Renault car dealer to the
client, and the client will still be responsible for returning the vehicle with its initial tires.
You can study the
UK Automobile Assocation
website to learn more about winter tire requirements and other compulsory equipment per European country.
Regarding snow chains, it is vital that you check and if necessary maintain the tension of the chains frequently,
and certainly after every short journey. Also, with the chains fitted do not drive faster than about 35
miles per hour (60 km/h).
