The detailed accident figures from the German Federal Highway Research Institute do not show such a significant drop in injury accidents between 2005 and 2010. There is a measurable decline but a lot of that likely comes from the overall vehicle fleet getting safer with things like superior crash protection and active measures like ABS and stability control. It isn't all from winter tires.
