Driving winter tires in this heat, experts warn you are making a serious mistake.

The article warns drivers in Bosnia and Herzegovina against using winter tires during hot summer temperatures, highlighting potential safety risks and reduced tire performance. It explains that winter tires are designed for cold conditions and become too soft on hot asphalt, leading to faster wear, decreased grip, longer stopping distances, and increased fuel consumption. Experts emphasize that the 'M+S' marking does not guarantee all-season suitability, and proper seasonal tire selection is crucial for safety. The piece advises drivers to regularly inspect tire depth, condition, and age, especially during extreme heat, and stresses the importance of maintaining safe driving practices.
