Believe it or not here in the British Isles we have quite a few roads which are not horizontal, it is also against the law to use studded tyres, winter tread tyres are okay. Where-as when working in Switzerland it was compulsory to fit winter or studded tyres from October to March, but that was nearly 50 years ago, most people kept two sets of wheels but things may have changed. Here in the UK we have far more vehicles than Norway, a larger population, more flats/apartment blocks with no facilities for keeping a spare set of tyres/wheels, we would all like motoring utopia, but alas it ain't going to happen, we learn to live with what the law and physical restrictions allow.
