Tires

[Icowgirlup]

One more question, I am stationed in Germany and tires have to have the alpine symbol on them to be legal to drive here. Can anyone tell me if the stock tired have the triangle/snowflake symbol on them or do I need to order tires.?

I believe you are referring to the three-peak mountain snowflake (3PMSF) symbol:

This is the symbol to indicate a tire is severe snow service-rated. I believe the Big Bend comes stock with Continental ProContact TX tires, which are not severe snow service-rated, and therefore do not display a 3PMSF.

Sorry, Not the Big Bend stock tires.

Just so you know, I don't believe severe snow-rated tires (3PMSF ) are a requirement in Germany. Any tire that is M+S rated is acceptable. If your car is equipped with the OEM Continental ProContact TX tires then you are good to go in Germany.
