Wer mit Winterreifen im Sommer unterwegs ist, setzt sich nicht nur Gefahren, sondern auch höheren Kosten aus. Warum und wann man seine Reifen wechseln sollte und welche Modelle gut abgeschnitten haben.
The text discusses the importance of switching to summer tires, the ideal time to do so (when temperatures consistently exceed 10°C), and whether to change tires yourself or at a workshop (costing €20-€80). Changing tires yourself requires tools like a jack, wrench and torque wrench, and tire pressure should be checked after and screws tightened after 50km. Tires generally last 6-8 years, indicated by the DOT number on the tire's sidewall. The ADAC tested 215/55 R17 summer tires, highlighting the Continental PremiumContact 7 for safety and the Michelin Primacy 4+ for environmental performance, while also noting that the cheapest tire wasn't the best.
