Calugans are not advised to switch to winter tires

This threatens them with accelerated wear, told “Tape.ru” car expert Dmitry Matveev.

He recalled that winter tires are designed to operate at temperatures below +7 ° C.

If you use such a tire at +10... +15°C, it softens very much. And due to the fact that “warm” asphalt is more aggressive than cold, winter tires wear off faster, the expert explained.

Thus, the service life of tires is reduced by 20-30%.

In addition, if during an accident it is found that winter tires in warm weather worsened control of the car, insurers and courts can refuse to pay compensation.

As MK in Kaluga reported earlier, more than 300 “school” routes were laid in the Kaluga region.
