When should I put on my winter tires? "Now is the ideal time"

Gert Verhoeven from VAB emphasizes the importance of winter tires for road safety, especially as temperatures drop. He advises that now is the perfect time to switch to winter tires, as they provide better grip and performance in colder conditions. Contrary to popular belief, winter tires are beneficial even without snow, as they remain flexible in low temperatures and improve handling on wet roads. Verhoeven warns against fitting winter tires too early, as they wear out faster in warmer weather. The transition to winter tires should coincide with the change to winter time.
