Preparing a car for winter involves more than just changing tires; it requires a comprehensive technical check to ensure safety and avoid fines. New winter tires can cost over 1,000 lei, with prices for common sizes starting around 240 lei each. For those on a budget, second-hand options range from 400 to 800 lei, but careful inspection is crucial. Additional costs include mounting and balancing tires, which can add 180 to 300 lei, plus seasonal tire storage fees. Essential checks include battery health, antifreeze levels, and brake systems. In Romania, winter tires are mandatory only under specific road conditions, with fines for non-compliance reaching up to 4,325 lei.
