BAThe article discusses the risks associated with driving on winter tires during hot weather. Winter tires are designed for low temperatures, becoming too soft above around 15°C, which reduces grip and braking efficiency compared to summer or all-season tires. Tests by Goodyear and Finnish magazine Tekniikan Maailma show that cars equipped with winter tires take longer to stop on wet roads at high speeds. Additionally, using winter tires in warm conditions increases fuel consumption and tire wear, leading to higher emissions. Experts warn that winter tires increase stopping distances and aquaplaning risk due to their different tread design. The article advises drivers using winter tires in hot weather to reduce speed to minimize risks.
