Capital forecasters said the best days to change summer tires on winter

Is that the time? Or even earlier? Every offseason motorists of Russia gain the best time to change summer to winter tires or Vice versa. In the course are different methods: watching the weather forecast, fortune-telling on the lunar calendar and coffee grounds, signs of people. And because if you do not guess you can be in a very disadvantageous position. But this time it's just the weather center said, when is the best time to change tires.

Scientific Director of the hydrometeorological center Roman Vilfand told TASS that the best time for "pereobuvki" will be the beginning of November. When the air temperature drops to 3-5 degrees Celsius.

Motorists often mistaken with the choice of optimum temperature for the transition to winter tires. Like, when the snow comes, and then replace. But the problem is that already at temperatures around 5 degrees above zero summer tires lose a significant part of the friction properties. Simply put, they "harden".

The fact is that the composition of summer tyres are designed to provide best grip at zero temperature. Accordingly, to fly on these tires as far forward possible without snow and ice.

According to forecasts of weather forecasters, until the end of this week the temperature in Moscow will be held at the level of 5-8 degrees Celsius. Then she slowly starts to fall. Then comes the optimal time to change car season.

The main thing to remember: it is better to err and to set in advance than to celebrate the "day of the tinman" on summer tires.
