With the arrival of spring, many drivers are thinking about when is the right time to change tires from winter to summer. Each of these types of wheels is adapted for certain conditions of use, and in this matter it is very important not to rush, but you should not hesitate too much either.
Instructions
Step 1
You will not find the exact date of reinstallation of seasonal tires either in the technical passport of the vehicle or in the traffic regulations. The only guideline is that you should be guided by the weather conditions. But this is more than a rough recommendation.
Step 2
The main rule is: do not roll out a new set of wheels as soon as the snow has melted. Spring is a very unstable time of the year, frost and snowfall can return completely unexpectedly. Only when a constant temperature is established in the morning and in the evening from 7 ° C and above, you can think about a visit to the car service. If you also drive during the night, you will have to wait so that the temperature does not drop below the above level at night.
Step 3
How long you keep driving with winter tires depends on where you live. In some regions, winter may not give up its positions for a very long time. You need to be especially careful in the mountains. Ice on the slopes can persist almost until summer. Keep this in mind when planning your trip to mountainous areas.
Step 4
Consider whether you have the opportunity in the event of a sudden cold snap to transfer to public transport for a day or two. If so, you can not delay changing shoes, because you can always leave the car at home so as not to expose yourself and others to unnecessary danger.
Step 5
It also matters where and how you change wheels. It can happen that the garages find themselves overwhelmed by your steering colleagues who schedule a shift at the same time as you. There is no need to waste time, drive another couple of weeks on winter tires. This does not threaten anything, but later you can perform the procedure without waiting in a long queue.
