Finnish weather can change quickly, so it is best not to leave your winter tire change until the last minute. Good timing improves safety and helps you avoid the busiest seasonal queues.
When Is It Time to Change to Winter Tires?
You should start planning your winter tire change when temperatures regularly fall close to freezing. Roads can be slippery in the morning even when the weather becomes warmer later in the day.
Book your tire change early if you drive to work every day, transport children, or regularly use your car early in the morning or late in the evening.
Check the Condition of Your Tires
Simply fitting the tires is not enough. Before installation, you should also inspect their overall condition.
Check the tread depth and make sure the wear is even.
Look for cracks, bulges and other visible damage.
Check the tire pressure.
Make sure all four tires are suitable for your vehicle.
Check the age of the tires and whether the rubber has hardened.
Worn or damaged tires can reduce your vehicle’s grip, especially on wet, snowy and icy roads.
Why Should You Change Your Tires Early?
Changing your tires in good time reduces stress and gives you an opportunity to resolve any problems before the first icy conditions arrive.
If a tire has damage, a slow leak or uneven wear, the issue can be handled before you need to drive in challenging winter conditions.
