Technicians in tire services are filling their calendars weeks in advance. The period of changing cars to winter tires has begun.

As winter approaches, tire service technicians are experiencing a surge in demand for tire changes, with appointments filling up weeks in advance. From November 1, drivers are legally required to have winter tires under certain conditions. Mechanics are working extended hours to accommodate the influx of customers, with an expected increase in demand. The process of changing tires involves several steps, including removing the wheel, deflating the tire, and mounting the new tire. Drivers like Mr. Dušan are preparing to comply with the law, which mandates winter tires when snow or ice is present. Fines for not adhering to this requirement can reach up to two thousand crowns, and insurance companies may seek reimbursement for damages if an accident occurs due to improper tires.
