Since summer is already summer, one should have actually mounted summer tyres on the car. As far as I am informed, however, there is no obligation to mount summer tyres in summer and winter tyres in winter on the car. It is only a recommendation and you have to adjust the tyres to the weather. That would mean theoretically, if it snows in summer at night and snow is on the paint cream that then you would have to mount winter tyres. So actually an unconsidered set My questions: What are the disadvantages when driving with winter tires in the summer? Do it have to be brand tires or do such cheap China tires also do something? I bought my car in Sept. 2013, but I didn’t like the summer tires / rims that were mounted. New rims in size 18 inches but all would cost 700-800 euros with rubber. I want to have thick rims on my car, but I don’t want to throw that much money out of the window. I don’t see what kind of tires there are, because the rims are in the foreground. I haven’t seen a person who has looked at the brand of the rims on my car…..
