How many kilometers do winter tires need to be replaced?

[Kingston]

Under normal driving conditions, winter tires should be replaced approximately every 3,000 kilometers. There is no strict rule on the exact mileage for replacement, as it depends on the degree of tire wear. After all, winter tires are not highly durable and are designed specifically for use in harsh conditions. Winter tires are suitable for snowy conditions, enhancing vehicle traction and safety on icy and snowy roads. The tread of winter tires features a special silica-based compound that remains exceptionally soft at extremely low temperatures, ensuring excellent grip on ice. Additionally, the tread pattern often utilizes cross Z-shaped siping technology, which improves braking performance on snow and ice, reduces braking distance, and provides optimal traction.
