What Is a Winter Tyre?

A winter tyre has a special rubber compound that stays flexible at temperatures below 7 °C. Thanks to this compound and its tread design, it provides better grip on wet and cold surfaces.

Is There a Legal Obligation for Winter Tyres?

In Turkey, the use of winter tyres is compulsory for commercial vehicles between certain dates determined by the authorities. For passenger cars, there is no general legal obligation, but using winter tyres is strongly recommended for safe driving.

Is It Necessary to Use Winter Tyres in Alanya?

Although Alanya has a generally mild climate, rainy weather in winter, sudden drops in temperature and journeys to the surrounding districts make winter tyres important.

  • Shorter braking distance on wet surfaces
  • Better grip in cold weather
  • Safer and more stable driving

Differences Between Winter Tyres and Summer Tyres

  • Winter tyres remain flexible in cold temperatures.
  • Summer tyres become harder in cold weather and lose grip.
  • Winter tyres are much safer on snowy and rainy roads.

When Should Winter Tyres Be Fitted?

It is recommended to switch to winter tyres when the air temperature starts to drop below 7 °C. In this way, the tyres can offer performance suitable for seasonal conditions.
