What can happen if you drive with winter tires in the summer

We remind you why you urgently need to change your summer tires. Some car owners who want to save money on buying summer tires decide to “finish” the winter tires to the last – anyway, they will not be in good condition for the next winter and seem to be suitable for the summer, lifebg .net.

According to the Law on Road Traffic (Art. 139, Para. 1, Item 4), road vehicles moving on the roads must be: (new – SG No.

101 of 2016, in force from 21.01.2017) with tires intended for winter conditions or with tires with a tread depth of not less than or equal to 4 mm during the period from November 15 to March 1.

This means that despite the many discussions and disagreements about whether there is a fine for winter tires in the summer or for summer tires in the winter, then according to the hypothesis of the law, the answer is no. You can be fined BGN 50 only if you drive with worn tires.

Most often, drivers do this – driving with winter tires in the summer, when the tread depth of winter tires is less than 4.5 mm.

First of all, it’s dangerous!

Usually, winter tires have a reduced speed index. In the summer season, tires with an increased speed index should be installed to return to the permissible maximum speed limit. Traveling in spring and summer with tires designed for temperatures below 7 °C and for winter weather conditions can become dangerous and certainly does not guarantee safety.
