Specific Tires for Germany
WEBSITES | SOCIAL MEDIA | DRIVING INFO. | SCHOOLS | CHILD DEV. | YOUTH PROGRAMS | LIVING | TRAVEL | AMENITIES | GPS
Most German motorists have long known the old rule of thumb for putting snow tires on the car: “von O bis O.” The term “from O to O” is short for “from October to Easter” (von Oktober bis Ostern). It is a recommendation that one should make the change from regular tires to snow tires in October, and leave them on until Easter.
The new German law does not set any time limits, but it does clearly state that under icy conditions (bei Glatteis, Schneeglätte, Schneematsch, Eis- und Reifglätte) you must not drive without snow tires on your vehicle. So, since it’s difficult to predict the weather, for all practical purposes, the old “von O bis O” rule still applies. (In Austria, winter tires are mandatory from November 1 to April 15.)
The new law also spells out what a “winter tire” is. Specifically, it is an M+S-Reifen, a mud-and-snow tire that has an official M+S (Matsch und Schnee) marking on it. (M+S tires do not have to be “winter” tires. All-year or all-weather M+S tires also qualify.) The German automobile club ADAC recommends going a step further and getting tires with the “three-peak-mountain” seal, an indication of snow tires that meet the highest standards.
ADAC also makes another recommendation that goes beyond the minimum requirements of the law. While theStraßenverkehrsordnung (StVO) requires a minimum snow tire tread depth (Profiltiefe) of 1.6 mm, ADAC ups that to 4.0 mm.

Parents can also elect to enroll their children in private schools, host nation school, or even home schools may also enroll their children in DoDDS on a part-time basis to permit them to complete graduation requirements or to obtain a course required for admission to a specific post-graduation program. Home-schooled students are authorized to attend DoDDS classes for any courses needed to support their academic schedule. If you are interested in home-schooling, there is a support group in the KMC area: The Christian Home Educator Support Group. http://www.hslda.org/orgs/?OrgID=5089128 & http://www.bigdir-reference.com/europe-germany-kaiserslautern-military-community-christian-home-educators_s39018.html
You may also choose to enroll your children in German schools rather than American schools. To do so, you must visit the school in or near the village in which you lives to register your child.
