Winter tyres are mandatory in winter and must be fitted from the beginning of November. Summer tyres provide better grip in warm conditions. Studded tyres suit icy roads, while friction tyres suit snowy ones.

Tyre changes and storage

Tyres are changed according to the season. Many tyre shops offer a storage service where tyres are washed, stored and changed at the start of each season. This keeps the tyres in good condition for longer.

Tyre condition and safety

Check the tyre tread depth and pressure regularly. The legal tread depth is 1.6 mm for summer tyres and 3.0 mm for winter tyres. Worn tyres reduce grip and lengthen the braking distance.

Choosing the right tyre

Your driving style, the car's size and its purpose influence the choice of tyre. Ask the tyre shop for a recommendation and compare features such as grip, noise and durability.

Frequently asked questions

When must winter tyres be fitted?

Winter tyres must be used from the beginning of November to the end of February. Winter tyres are also recommended at other times when weather conditions require it.

Studded or friction tyres?

Studded tyres grip well on ice and snow but are noisier and wear the road. Friction tyres are quieter and suit city driving in varied winter weather in particular.

Is it worth storing tyres at the tyre shop?

Yes, if you don't have space to store tyres at home. The shop's storage service usually includes washing, a condition assessment and a change at the start of the season.

What is a safe tread depth?

The legal minimum is 1.6 mm for summer tyres and 3.0 mm for winter tyres. For safety, we recommend replacing tyres before these limits, especially in winter.
