Winter tires: it's time to switch to a safe option

With the arrival of cold weather, the issue of safety on the road becomes especially urgent. In order to feel confident at the wheel in any weather whims, it is important to change tires to winter tires in time, representatives of the Ministry of Emergency Situations reminded “MK in Pskov”.

The key signal to replace is air temperature. Focus on the average daily indicators: if they are steadily kept below +5 ° C, it’s time to “refashion” the car.

In the Pskov region in the coming days forecasters predict the day from +1 °C to +5 °C, and at night the temperature may drop to -1 °C. In such conditions, the risk of accidents increases markedly - so we advise car owners to plan tire replacement in advance.

Do not forget about the life of the rubber. On average, tires last 4-5 years with active driving - after that, it is better to replace them, even if the tread looks good.

Remember, rushing on the road can be too expensive. It is better to spend a little time preparing the car and following the rules - it will save both nerves and health.
