🚗 Do Not Run Winters Tires in Warm Weather!

Did you know once temperatures rise above 7°C, winter tires stop working the way they’re designed to.

They’re built with a soft rubber compound to grip in cold weather, but in warm conditions, that softness works against you.

⚠️ What Happens If You Keep Winter Tires On?

  • ❗ Longer stopping distances (up to ~10–25% worse in warm conditions.)
  • ❗ Reduced traction and control when cornering and braking
  • ❗ Higher risk of hydroplaning in wet conditions
  • ❗ Faster wear and potential heat-related tire damage

⚖️ The Bottom Line

Running winter tires in summer can be just as unsafe as running summer tires in winter, because in both cases, your vehicle can’t stop as effectively when it matters most.


✅ Make the Switch

  • ❄️ Winter tires: below 7°C
  • ☀️ Summer / All-season tires: above 7°C

👉 The right tire for the season = better grip, shorter stops, and safer driving

If you’re noticing any of these signs, it could be time to get your alignment checked:
✔️ Pulling to one side
✔️ Uneven tire wear
✔️ Steering wheel not centered

Ignoring it can lead to faster tire wear, poor handling, increased damage and even safety issues.
