Autosite «Behind the wheel» listed three main options for the fate of winter tires after replacement

According to journalists, Russian drivers treat winter tires differently after they are replaced. First option — use the already worn out «winter» in order to «finish off» tires. In this case, they continue to ride on winter tires in summer. However, it is illegal — the fine for such behavior, if a traffic police inspector catches a motorist, is 500 rubles.

The best option is to send winter tires for storage until the next season. In this case, the tires should be carefully folded, namely, tires on disks can be stacked or placed vertically, and tires without disks require a more careful attitude.

Finally, some car owners resort to the services of companies that can stud tires if the tread pattern allows.
