Când devin obligatorii anvelopele de iarnă și ce amenzi riscă șoferii în 2026 dacă nu le au montate - WOWbiz.ro

In Romania, winter tires are mandatory only when roads are covered with snow, ice, or slush, regardless of the calendar date. Drivers caught without winter tires face fines ranging from 1,946 to 4,325 lei and may have their vehicle registration certificate confiscated. The law does not specify a fixed date for tire installation, but it is recommended to switch to winter tires when temperatures drop below 7 degrees Celsius. Additionally, heavy vehicles and passenger transport vehicles must have winter tires or approved anti-skid equipment on their drive axles. Failure to comply can lead to significant penalties and restrictions on driving.
