Kursk drivers reminded about the change of summer tires for winter

In the Kursk region at the weekly meeting of the regional government, car owners were urged to urgently change summer tires to winter tires.

According to forecasts of meteorologists, next week the day temperature will not rise above +4 ° C, and at night frosts are expected. Precipitation is also predicted in the form of rain and wet snow.

Timely “re-shoes” of the car is, first of all, a guarantee of safety on the road. In addition, driving on summer tires in winter is a violation, for which a fine is provided from December 1, said Oleg Goryachev, Deputy Governor and Chairman of the Regional Security Committee of the Kursk Region.

Summer tires lose their properties when the air temperature drops below +7 ° C.
