Winter tire

When the outside temperature consistently drops below +7°C, it’s time to switch to winter tires.

Why it matters:

Rubber performance – All-season or summer tires harden when temperatures fall below +7°C, reducing flexibility and grip. Winter tires are made from softer rubber compounds that stay flexible in cold weather.

Traction and safety – Winter tires have tread patterns designed for snow, slush, and ice, giving better traction, braking, and handling. Even on dry, cold pavement, they outperform all-seasons below +7°C.

Braking distance – Stopping distances are significantly shorter with winter tires in cold conditions, lowering accident risk.

In short, the 7-degree rule ensures you’re switching tires not just for snow and ice, but for cold weather overall—boosting safety, control, and confidence on the road.
