Anvelopele de iarnă: ce verifici înainte de prima ninsoare

Before the first snowfall, drivers should check their winter tires to avoid last-minute issues. Legal requirements state that winter tires marked M+S are mandatory when roads are icy or snowy. It's advisable to install them when temperatures drop below 7 degrees Celsius, typically in late October or early November. Key checks include tread depth, age, and proper markings. For new tires, size should match vehicle specifications, and the European label indicates performance. All-season tires with M+S markings are legal but may not perform as well in severe winter conditions. After installation, tire pressure should be monitored regularly, especially in cold weather.
