Preparation for the winter season
Automotive expert Yevhen Mujyrya emphasizes that you should prepare your car for the cold in advance to avoid unforeseen repair costs.
The expert advises to install seasonal tires and avoid all-season tires, as they do not meet Ukrainian conditions with their severe frosts.
Road safety
The expert stressed that quality wheel traction on the road surface is critically important for safe driving. Therefore, he urged not to postpone changing tires and to do it now, without waiting for a sharp drop in temperature.
Mujyrya warned that summer tires become unpredictable to handle at negative temperatures, and noted that in the first days of frost, the risk of accidents increases for those who have not changed their tires in time.
Additional preparation of the vehicle
In addition to tires, the expert highlighted the importance of preparing the vehicle for winter, urging to refresh technical fluids and check the battery condition.
'This is absolutely necessary to safely survive the frosts,' he emphasized.
Thus, the article focuses on when Ukrainian drivers should better change their tires this year, indicating the significance of installing seasonal tires and avoiding all-season options in Ukrainian climate conditions. The expert also draws attention to the necessity of updating technical fluids and checking the battery to ensure safe driving in winter.
