Do the Michelin Cross Climate tyres have the mud and snow symbol?
I am looking at these for a Vauxhall Zafira Model C to be driven abroad where the tyres need the M+S (mud and snow) symbol to be legal. Everywhere I have looked online does not seem to explicitly state this. So I would like to know if these tyres have this as I don't fancy a fine in Germany or Austria. Especially Austria as the fine is up to €5000!

Yes, Cross Climates have the snowflake and mountain symbol and are as legal as full cold weather tyres where 'winter tyres' are required.
