winter tires

Winter tires are designed to maintain grip when temperatures drop (below about 7 °C): softer rubber, deeper treads, and sipes to bite into the cold, water, and snow. They significantly improve braking and traction on cold, wet, or icy roads, especially compared to summer tires. Here, we gather our tips and comparisons: M+S and 3PMSF markings, size selection, pressure in cold weather, wear, storage, mounting/dismounting, and regulations (zones and periods by country). Goal: to choose the right winter set according to your usage, without making a mistake.
