Drivers in Moscow are advised to switch from summer to winter tires in the second half of next week, said Roman Vilfand, scientific director of the Russian Hydrometeorological Center, according to TASS.
"Yes, I would recommend Muscovites change their tires. I think it's advisable to do this as early as the second half of next week, as daytime temperatures will already be around 5 degrees," the meteorologist said.
Vilfand noted that the driver should make the decision about a specific vehicle based on the vehicle's needs and the tires themselves. If the tires are studded, it's best to wait before replacing them.
