Your tyres are your car's only connection to the road, so it's important you do your part to ensure they perform optimally in all weather conditions - and knowing when to switch to winter tyres plays a key role in this.
Put on your winter tires before the weather freezes. As a guideline, if the temperature consistently drops below 7 degrees, consider switching to winter tires. Even if the temperature rises during the day, it can get quite cold at night and early in the morning, so be careful. Also, when traveling long distances, pay attention to the weather, as temperatures and conditions vary depending on the zone.
We recommend that you rotate your tires when changing to winter tires . This will help them wear evenly and extend their life. Before changing your tires, consult your vehicle manufacturer's tire restrictions and recommendations.

Winter tires are made of a special rubber compound that is softer than the rubber compounds used in all-season tires . This special rubber compound used in winter tires remains flexible even in cold temperatures, ensuring a stable grip on the road. Winter tires also have a deeper tread and a special tread pattern, which gives them better traction and grip on snowy and icy roads.

The choice between non-studded winter tires and studded tires will depend on the driving conditions you expect to encounter and the laws and regulations in your area as studded tires are banned in some parts of Europe. Studded tires provide ultimate grip on icy roads, making them ideal for areas with frequent icy conditions and extreme winter conditions. Non-studded winter tires offer versatility, uncompromising grip and smart driving features on snowy roads. It is important not to mix different types of tires - this can reduce predictability and cause you to lose control of your vehicle.

The soft rubber of winter tires can be damaged in high heat. Summer and all-season tires are designed to perform better in warm weather and on wet roads. Therefore, when the winter season is over, switch to summer tires. The decision to switch from winter tires to summer tires should be based on the temperature and road conditions. When the seasonal temperature is stable and above 7°C, it may be time to consider changing tires.
Choose your tyres based on weather conditions and do your part to keep you safe on the roads all year round.
