Despite the change in weather

Situational winter tire obligation ends on Monday

The situational winter tire obligation ends on Monday. However, it is recommended that you change your tires depending not only on the date, but also on the current weather conditions. 

April is famous for its sudden changes in weather, and we are also in for one on Monday.

Only when it is actually warmer for a longer period of time is it advisable to change tires for safety reasons.

Winter tires are designed for the cold season and have some weaknesses at high temperatures. For example, they may have a longer braking distance or be subject to greater wear. Handling can also suffer.

The ÖAMTC recommends that tires should be changed in a garage or at a motorists' club. The storage of tires also plays an important role in maintaining their quality.
