In 2026, winter tire prices have increased by 10% compared to 2025, with installation costs also rising. Many drivers consider second-hand tires to save money, but experts warn of hidden defects that could lead to serious accidents. A medium-sized set now costs around 1,760 lei, and with installation and storage fees, the total can exceed 2,000 lei. Despite high prices, tire services in Bucharest are operating at full capacity, with appointments available only after two weeks. Drivers are reminded to check the condition and age of used tires, as well as to comply with regulations regarding winter tires during snowy conditions.
