This week – as always unexpectedly – the first snow fell. Surprisingly, every year it becomes a surprise not only for most motorists, but also for public utilities. Queues to fit tires immediately increased and the number of accidents increased many times over, although they could have been prevented. And why the weather failed, we explain in the new issue of the podcast of the AvtoVzglyad portal.
Every year with the onset of cold weather, the same thing happens. It seems that only the first snow acts as a kind of guide to action for Muscovites. The average daily temperature was approaching zero – “no, it’s too early to change shoes.” The earth was covered with a thin white veil – “Now is the time.” The recommendations of experts – that it is necessary to install winter tires when the thermometers drop to + 5 ° C – are stubbornly ignored.
The result is a sharp increase in the number of accidents. For example, there was an accident in western Moscow last weekend that involved as many as 50 cars. The old-timers will not even remember such a massive “kneading” in the capital. But the misery could have been avoided if both the drivers and someone else had followed the weather forecast.
The why question has been answered, but there are many more. For example, is it worth taking the advice of countless experts, even if authoritative car publications claim that summer tires on dry surfaces – even in sub-zero temperatures – slow down better than winter tires? In addition, this is confirmed by the results of real tests. Can you trust Chinese tires? Where better to “change shoes”: in your garage, at a tire fitting station or at a car service?
The answers to these and other topical questions that preoccupy drivers every fall, the AvtoVzglyad portal has collected in the latest issue of its podcast – so click the link and listen. And, of course, prefer to solve the question of “changing shoes”: if you have not already done this, even despite the onset of frosts.
