I realize I wasn’t too clear about a couple things. The port delivery date from MAS is 12 November, but the port delivery date from ford is 15 September.
The car does have all season tires, so I should be fine unless it’s actually snowing. My salesman didn’t tell me about a rental car option through them so that is something I need to ask about. Thanks for all the info.
I think I'm getting you, and it makes sense Ford is showing about a month earlier than MAS as it is likely the date it is expected to hit the port in the US. A bit less than a month is the average time it takes a car to come over from the US to Bremerhaven.
You do need to be aware of the new law on all season tires, make sure to check the date of manufacture

Basically, all season tires with an M+S manufactured before 1 Jan 2018 are allowed until 2024 during winter conditions, Tires made after the first of the year must have the winter mountain/snowflake symbol if winter conditions (below freezing or any snow on the ground but also an Officer can decide that black ice is a danger even if temps are higher than freezing and no snow on the ground.)
hopefully yours were made prior to the beginning of the year and you will be good till you wear them out.
I am ordering my last set of all seasons now. but after that there's not really going to be a point to buying all seasons here anymore. I already have rims with winter tires on and will put good summer rubber on my good rims.
