Today officially marks the end of the situational winter equipment requirement in road traffic. According to ÖAMTC experts, there is no rush to switch to summer tires.
"April is known for its sudden weather changes, and in higher altitudes, it can still be very cold in the morning," warns ÖAMTC tire expert Steffan Kerbl. He recommends switching only when temperatures consistently remain in the double digits.
More important than the date is the local weather or weather conditions: "There is no obligation to use summer tires, and winter tires can handle spring-like temperatures without any issues," says the expert.
