Drivers in Moscow must wait until April 10 to switch from winter tires to summer tires because there may still be snowfall in the city, which could paralyze traffic on the roads. About this topic in a conversation with the radio station “Moscow Speaks” said Mikhail Kalinin, vice president of the publishing house “Automotive Business News”.
In addition, the temperature will turn negative in the capital on Saturday, April 6th. According to the expert, tires need to be changed when the average daily temperature rises above +5°C.
“And to understand, you have to look at long-term forecasts. Today is only April 1, the weather can change at any moment; In my memory, in April, there were very heavy snowfalls that literally paralyzed traffic in the city. Typically somewhere around the tenth of April [надо менять резину]. Since the forecast for Saturday night is -1°C, you don’t need to change your shoes yet,” Kalinin said.
Metropolitan Ministry of Transport, citing Moscow Deputy Mayor for Transport Maxim Liksutov, previously said reportedThat Moscow drivers should replace winter tires with summer tires.
