WHEN TO CHANGE WINTER TIRES?
When? ⠀ Reference point: +7ºС Remember this indicator: when the AVERAGE DAILY temperature crosses “plus seven”, you can change your winter tires to summer tires without hesitation. Spring has finally arrived and the chances of encountering ice crust on the road are minimal.⠀ ⠀ Is it possible to change tires earlier? ⠀ Yes, but only if you are sure that the cold has definitely passed. At temperatures from 0 to +7ºС, the grip properties of summer tires remain high, but at sub-zero temperatures the rubber compound becomes tanned and the tire characteristics deteriorate sharply.⠀ ⠀ Or maybe not change it at all? ⠀ Driving on winter tires in summer is dangerous:⠀ - Deterioration in vehicle controllability and maneuverability⠀ - Increased fuel consumption⠀ - Increased tire wear⠀ - Increasing braking distance⠀ ⠀ Monitor the temperature, weather conditions and change your tires on time!⠀
