Winter driving
Severe weather conditions in the winter result in greater wear and other problems. To minimise the problems of winter driving, you should follow these suggestions:
WARNING
Summer tyres are equipped to provide the best driving performance on dry roads, varying according to specification.
Since vehicles equipped with summer tyres significantly reduce surface forces when driving on snow or ice roads, it is recommended to use snow tyres of the same size as the standard tyres of the vehicle or to replace them with all-season tyres or to use snow chains.
