Can Winter Tires Be Used on Highways at 15 Degrees Celsius Above Zero?
1 Answers
Winter tires should not be used on highways at 15 degrees Celsius above zero, and it is recommended to avoid using winter tires for highway driving. Hazards of Using Winter Tires on Highways: During high-speed driving, winter tires generate significant noise, experience severe wear, and can increase fuel consumption. On dry roads, winter tires are not very durable and have poor traction. Therefore, unless driving in snowy or low-temperature conditions, it is advisable to switch to regular tires for highway driving. Winter Tires Should Not Be Used for Extended Periods: The main reason winter tires should not be used for extended periods is their softer tread. At high speeds, this can lead to unstable contact with the road surface and accelerated wear.
