Roman Vilfand, scientific director of Russia’s Hydrometeorological Center, said it is too early for residents of the Central Federal District to consider converting winter tires to summer tires. Words lead the way TASS.
According to Vilfand, tires cannot be changed to summer tires before mid-April, but you have to follow meteorologists’ forecasts.
“They usually change tires in mid-April, it’s not a forecast, it’s an observation of the climate. Before this period, very often night frosts occur, so in the morning there is a pronounced snowfall. It’s dangerous, ”the scientific director of the Russian Hydrometeorological Center shared.
Formerly Oleg Rastegaev, tire specialist and Autoreview tester saidA car with low profile tires is more likely to crash.
According to the expert, such tires are damaged faster in winter than in summer. This is because the driver does not see the bumps and potholes hidden on the roads under the snow, which he usually drives around in the summer.
