As the winter months approach, temperatures begin to drop below 7 degrees. Choosing the right tire during this period is of great importance for both road holding and braking distance. Stating that it is necessary to switch to winter tires, especially to prevent accidents, Petlas Marketing Manager Esra Ertuğrul Boran said, “For a safe and comfortable driving experience, it is necessary to switch to winter tires when the air temperature drops below +7 degrees.”
When the air temperature drops below 7 degrees, the use of winter tires becomes very important for vehicles. While summer tires lose their grip in cold weather conditions and jeopardize driving safety, winter tires provide more effective braking on slippery surfaces thanks to their special rubber compounds that perform better at low temperatures. Therefore, it is necessary to switch to winter tires without waiting for snowfall for safe driving.
“Winter tires provide stable and comfortable driving with strong traction and safe braking.”
Stating that driving safety starts with the tires, which are the point where the vehicle touches the ground, Petlas Marketing Manager Esra Ertuğrul Boran said, “When the air temperature drops below 7 degrees, the road holding properties of summer tires decrease. This increases the risks that drivers may encounter in winter conditions, such as skidding, prolonged braking distance and loss of control. Therefore, for both a safe and comfortable driving experience, we recommend installing winter tires without waiting for snowfall. Winter tires offer higher performance than summer tires thanks to their fine pattern structure and soft compound that increase road holding on snowy and icy surfaces. Manufactured with a special technology that provides resistance to weather conditions between +7 degrees and -40 degrees, these tires maintain their flexibility by preventing hardening in low temperatures. For a safe and comfortable driving experience, it is necessary to switch to winter tires when the air temperature drops below +7 degrees.”
“We prioritize the safety of drivers even in the most difficult weather conditions”
Stating that Petlas tires are designed not only for difficult snow and ice conditions but also to ensure road safety in cold weather conditions, Boran continued as follows:
“As Petlas, we prioritize the safety of our drivers and offer high-performance winter tire solutions in line with this. Our winter tires are designed to prioritize the safety of drivers even in the most difficult weather conditions. Our tires, which have been tested in accordance with European standards for our country, which has a road length of 70 m on an area of approximately 2 thousand m², meet consumer expectations in terms of both design and performance. Being the tire brand with the widest sales points in our country with over 100 dealers and over 80 sales points in 800 provinces throughout Turkey, makes it possible for all our drivers to easily reach Petlas brand winter tires whenever they need them. We are also happy that we have maintained the export leadership of the sector for many years by carrying our sectoral success to over 4 countries.”
