When the temperature is close to 7 ° C, you should start thinking about contacting your dealer to make an appointment for winter tire change over. Make the first available appointment which best suits your busy schedule and you’ll be the first to say that at the first snowfall, you were glad you had your winter tires installed early, in October.

Ice patches can form during the night and surprise you on the road even before your first coffee. It’s there for useless to run the risk of getting caught with summer tires and putting your safety or that of your car’s body work in jeopardy.

Even more so, waiting a few additional weeks to save money on tire wear is futile, because the amount would be miniscule.
