First check the law carefully.
The winter tire requirement probably doesn't apply to motorcycles.
If it does, the government has effectively banned bikes during the winter
because I'm pretty sure there is no such thing as snow tires for bikes.
OTOH, the police may realize how stupid the law is and not enforce it (for
bikes).

Slightly. Knowing that, adjust your riding habits. No need to change
tires.

What do you mean when you say "adjust your riding habits"? Are you
refering to the usual 'er-advices? (I.e. ride slowER, brake smoothER and
be carefulER than usual.)
All advice is warmly appreciated. After all, i'd like to find out and
gain
experience but rather by being told about an accident than by causing
an accident. It's cheaper and more convenient that way. Plus, one dies
far less often.
