I'm in Nuremberg for three days to see the Christmas markets so if I get time i't'd be great to meet up.
There are no studs allowed in Germany due to road damage.
If there is no heavy snowfall you will be fine with all season tyres. What I understand as a winter tyre is e.g. the Bridgestone Blizzak LM series.

Just let me know when you're hopping over!
