The head of the driving school called “Velcro” the best choice for the Crimean winter

For most winter trips on the roads of the Crimea, unstudded tires, the so-called Velcro, are better suited. This opinion on the air of Radio Crimea was expressed by the director of the auto-motor school Ivan Novikov.

Most of the time, he said, motorists on the peninsula drive on asphalt without sustained ice. In such conditions, the advantages of studded rubber remain unclaimed.

Among its shortcomings, Novikov identified two factors. On spikes, the car brakes longer, and the rubber itself makes more noise.
