New traffic police law about winter tires. Seasonal replacement of rubber - necessity, conditions, timing. Will there be a ban on studded rubber

On the Internet once again quickly gained the popularity of rumor stating that from November 1 of this year all cars must. And once again, this hearing had no legislative base.

Is it possible to ride on summer tires?

There were no direct current laws, applications, regulations requiring drivers from November 1 of this year, it was not necessary to switch to winter tires. Everything exists at the moment only in the form of a bill. Therefore, the traffic police officers or technical supervision are checked and fined for not reversing the rubber is not entitled. Moreover, the system has not yet been developed, which will be monitored by the traffic police or technical supervision. It is not known how preventive measures will be held, raids, the staff qualifications have not been increased and much more. In other words, the technical set is accepted, but normative base Not ready for him.

It is also unknown which fines will be applied to motorists who did not have time. The accurate information department should be published closer to December.

According to the current article 12.5 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation, a fine of 500 rubles, according to the current rules (the main provisions for admission vehicle To operate), you can only get for use worn rubber (no matter, summer or winter), but not for its discrepancy season.

Output:

That is, in the Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation, the responsibility for riding the summer tires in winter and vice versa.

Remember that any driver must be guided first of all by the applicable rules. roadFor violations of which at the legislative level spelled certain responsibility. In the case of the use of rubber not within the season, in the current, and, accordingly, in the current Code of the Russian Federation, there is not a word about it. This means only one thing that drivers and owners of vehicles can change tires at their discretion.

As before, the total use of winter tires established by the "Technical Regulations on the Safety of Wheel Vehicles" is calculated from December to February. And most importantly, the "basic provisions for the access of vehicles" do not contain a ban on the use of summer rubber in winter. Therefore, to attract the driver to justice under Article 12.5 part 1 is now impossible.

According to reports, the period from December 1 to March 1 will be united for all regions of the country in which. Also, the regions will be given the right to independently set the deadlines for the use of winter rubber, changing this period towards the increase.

Recall from January 1, 2015, a new technical regulation "On the safety of wheeled vehicles" came into force. It says:

5.5. It is prohibited to operate vehicles equipped with tires with spikes of anti-skid in the summer period (June, July, August).

It is prohibited to operate vehicles not commissioned by winter tires that meet the requirements of paragraph 5.6.3 of this Annex in the winter (December, January, February). Winter tires are installed on all vehicle wheels.

Terms of the prohibition of operation can be changed to the increase in the regional authorities of the state administration of the Customs Union member states.

"The draft law is invited to supplement Article 12.5 of the Code Russian Federation On administrative offenses new part 32, establishing administrative responsibility for managing the vehicle with violation of the requirements of tires and wheels. "

"At the same time, the draft law provides for the consolidation of appropriate authorities and officials on the consideration of cases of administrative offenses, provided for by the projected part 32 of article 12.5 of the Code."

In January 2015, he earned a new technical regulation of the Customs Union, in accordance with which restrictions began to act on the minimum permissible depth Tire tread: for winter - 4 millimeters, for summer - 1.6 millimeters. Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev in December last year gave instructions to the Government to develop effective measures to prevent traffic jams on tracks in winter time And make amendments to legislation obliging drivers to ride in winter studded rubber. Consider what fines for studded tires are valid for 2017.

Winter Rubber Bill

On January 10, 2013, the Chairman of the Committee of the Federation Council on the Regulations and the Organization of Parliamentary Activities Vadim Tulipov proposed a bill providing for the fines of the unidentified winter tires on the wheels of cars in the winter season. It is assumed that the law will be enacted from January 1, 2014.

The document is planned to supplement the Code of Administrative Offenses of the desired article that the operation of the vehicle in strictly agreed months of the year without winter rubber will entail a penalty for tires in the amount of 5 thousand rubles. For official I. legal entities The size of the fine is likely to be more significant that it will be known after the further development of the bill. The initial version was rejected.

Law O. winter rubberAccording to the lawcraft, it will solve most road problems, prevent many road accidents, secretion of both drivers and pedestrians on the road. The reason for the search for embodiments of fines for the unwanted tires was the emergence of numerous multi-kilometer traffic jams, paralyzing the movement of the car vehicle not only in the city, but also on federal highways Russia. In most cases, the reason for the traffic jams was non-compliance with traffic rules and the absence of winter rubber on vehicles.

The law on the change of automotive tires on a strictly instituted graphics, most likely will be accepted winter season 2013-2014 Such an order voiced the first deputy premier of the country Igor Shuvalov relevant departments. The question of a chart of changing rubber with a summer on winter and vice versa in late February was discussed at a meeting of the Government Commission to ensure road safety with the participation of the Minister of Communications and Mass Communications of Russia Nikolai Nikiforova, Minister of Health of Veroniki Skvortsova, Minister of Transport Maxim Sokolova, Deputy Interior Minister Viktor Kiryanova and other representatives of ministries and departments.

According to the press service of the State Traffic Inspectorate, the order for winter tires Igor Shuvalov gave a limit on execution - a set of measures should be adopted for the winter of 2013-2014, despite the fact that the Technical Regulations of the Eurasian Economic Commission on Winter Rubber enters into force Only January 1, 2015. First Deputy Prime Minister recommended to analyze and global experience in the field of winter rubber use and resolve the issue with seasonality in the regions.

According to the draft law developed by Vadim, the winter period, he suggested that the segment of the time from December 1 to March 1, but in the regions it should still be possible to voiced their own winter frames for rubber. It should be noted that such a huge country, as Russia, crosses several climatic belts, temperature fluctuations in the middle of winter occur in amplitude from -3c to -40c, in July, the scatter is also substantial - from 0 to + 38c. According to the statistics of the Hydrometeorological Center of Russia, weather conditions in any region may vary every year. There are deviations from average annual values \u200b\u200bto 15C in the north and up to 30s in the south of Russia.

Experts argue that in the winter time of the year, the road accidents increase by 30-40%, especially if the road is icing, reduced the adhesion of summer rubber with asphalt, and of course it becomes a serious problem both authorities and traffic police and the public.

In addition, summer riding on tires with spikes can be as dangerous as winter without spikes. The spikes can simply fly out of the wheel into the rear transport, such tires are stronger and smashed asphalt and others.

Winter Rubber and Customs Union Regulations

Requirement requirement winter tires In relevant weather conditions, including for trucks, registered in the technical regulation of the Customs Union. The Shin Replacement Act is not just an initiative of the internal organs, it is a mandatory requirement of the Regulations of the Customs Union, applied within the framework of the Economic (Eurasian) Union "On the Safety of Vehicles". Russia must take these liabilities since the beginning of 2015.

However, Russian representatives of road carriers communities (protecting the rights of drivers of heavy vehicles) oppose such rules that can lead to financial difficulties and even cause the cessation of a number of transport companies.

Winter Rubber Law - European Experience

In many European countries, such as Finland, Sweden, there are laws that prescribe the mandatory presence of winter rubber. The lack of the desired tires by car at the agreed season in these countries is a gross violation of the rules of the road and punishes large fines and even serious administrative responsibility.

So, the climate of Finland is similar to the Russian. Winter rubber in the country drivers are obliged to install from November 1 and not to take off approximately until March 31, or rather: you can go on summer tires a week after Easter. Outside the labeled period, it is possible to exploit winter tires in Finland, if there is a need for this, it was formed to float, snow fell, etc.

In Latvia, the car should be equipped with winter rubber from December 1 to March 1, but these frameworks plan to replace the legislators for the period from October to April.

In Estonia, use tires with spikes are categorically prohibited at all. You can only install the Winter Rubber marking M + S in the period of three winter months.

In Germany, the law is only being finalized, its former editorial board is quite vague - drivers are obliged to put winter tires with a loan to the situation on the road.

In Norway, the law makes a relaxation only to foreigners on wheels, which are allowed to come to the country by car with any rubber, local obliged to install appropriate rubber in winter.

Interesting the Law on Winter Rubber in Switzerland. And more precisely, there is no such law, but in the case of a winter accident due to the driver's fault by car with summer tires, it will definitely write an extra penalty. In addition, in Switzerland, it is impossible to drive on the studded tires above 80 km / h per city and above 50 km / h - in any settlement.

The feasibility of making an item on winter tires in legislative acts

In March of the current year, the Ministry of Internal Affairs entrusted to relevant institutions and departments on the basis of a large-scale study in each region to determine the feasibility of the Law on Winter and Summer Rubber. It became known, this is done so that in some regions a change of summer rubber on the winter and vice versa received exclusively recommendatory.

In the Ministry of Internal Affairs, they understand that winter rubber for trucks There is no - no spikes will endure such a big weight. And yet, the plans of the lawmakes are present to oblige transport companies Special anti-slip chains.

In Russia, they intend to apply a flexible approach to the rationing of winter tires and anti-slip chains. If scientific research confirms the importance and vital necessity of winter rubber in a number of regions, traffic rules will be supplemented with a new rules, clarifying the period of use of winter rubber - from November 1 to April 1.

If in any of the Russian regions, officials consider the obligatory use of winter tires, which will be enshrined by law, the Ministry of Internal Affairs proposes to the violators to write a symbolic fine of 100 rubles. However, deputies continue to insist on more seriously the punishment - a fine of 1-5 thousand rubles so that motorists realize the importance of innovation.

Opponents of "obligations" with tires believe that the safety of motion can be provided in other ways. First of all, the quality of the road surface should improve, improve the efficiency of work road services, exercising timely cleaning of the roadway from snow and land. Finally, indirect effects can be applied. For example, in the case of an accident due to the "Improbed" machine to give the right to insurance companies to collect damage from the violator. Or introduce a special point about winter tires when passing inspection.

In addition, none of five bills of winter tires prepared in the State Duma and the Federation Council and not yet considered by Parliament, special requirements for the tires themselves do not specify. In existing legislation, only general requirements for car tires (We are talking about two decisions: "On approval of the technical regulations on the safety of wheeled vehicles" and "On the rules of the road"). The most specific parameters of winter rubber are spelled out in the regulations of the Customs Union "On Safety of Wheel Vehicles", in which the characteristics of studded tires are clearly listed.

Winter Rubber 2015.

Previous bills obliging drivers to use tires for the season, failed and were rejected. However, from January 1, 2015, the technical regulations of the Customs Union will begin throughout Russia. This document prohibits transport operation without the use of winter tires during the winter period, from December to February. Winter tires will be prohibited for use in the summer months, from June to August.

Of course, climatic conditions in different regions Our country has its own characteristics, and at the subject level intervals for the use of winter rubber will change.

For the operation of the tires not for the season of motorists will be fined for 2000 rubles.

But already in 2014, when russian drivers Pereobuli their cars in winter tires, they began to receive fines from traffic police officers for the lack of rear glass Icon "sh" (spikes) notifying the use of studded rubber of other road users.

The traffic police rates have extremely outraged by human rights defenders, since a penalty of 500 rubles discharged by the drivers is not provided for by the CAC, and therefore it is not legitimate.

Winter tires 2016-2017

The legislators have amended the rules of the road, which now clearly describe the concepts of winter, summer and all-season rubber, and also regulate their use, but the bill on winter tires has never started working in full force, since the COAP has not yet been made a penalty for Violation of these requirements.

Previously, the State Duma deputies offered to punish the violators with a fine of 10 thousand rubles, because, in their opinion, the amount of the fine must be equated to the value of the tire set. However, the bill is still being finalized, and what will be the final decision regarding the size of the fine - is not yet known.

Thus, for the lack of winter rubber, or rather, for violation of the requirements for the depth of tire tread, at the beginning of 2017, the driver is still facing a fine of 500 rubles. And how will the situation change in the future - time will show.

There is nothing on the Internet, except that only what documents are needed when setting a car for accounting! How is it legal? What regulation is it based on?

I live in the south of the Rostov region and the snow fell only once, in November, and then according to the forecasts of solid + sy ... Dry roads and now ... What spikes can we talk about ??? The legislators are in Moscow traffic jams (although I doubt that it is worth it) and drive a huge country into the framework of the Garden Ring ... Let the road builders work in the afternoon, thereby creating the biggest traffic jams, and at night, as in many strands (if Europe has started remember).

We used before, until they came up with this winter tires as I remember 16 years ago, you could have been found in summer with difficulty, someone welded the protector on old tires., someone dressed over car moto tires. It is clear that progress does not stand still. There is a winter velcro, there are studded, but not in all regions such harsh winters, riding on bare asphalt does not always have a positive effect on their condition. And the adoption of the law on the use of tires on the season is another feeder for both DPS and manufacturers. Let's say, the winter tire breaks somewhere in the warehouse of the year, two not demanded. And it can be thrown out, because with her benefit will not be

Below we will try to figure out the essence of this bill, and how it is reflected in ordinary motorists.

The Law on Winter Rubber is one of the most discussed draft laws of 2015. It regulates the use of tires strictly for the season: Summer / Winter.

Promotion of the bill began in 2014. By the end of the same year, he was assigned official status. By virtue of the law entered from 01.01. 2015. Car lubers are required to change tires within the prescribed period. Failure to comply with the rules will entail the imposition of penalties for the motorist. Mounted replacement period summer tires On the winter - November 1. Consider in more detail the Law on Summer Rubber.

Change wheel

Therefore:

• spiked wheels are forbidden to use in the summer (June-August);
• riding in winter (December-February) is allowed exclusively with winter tires: studded / unwitting, subject to the presence of labeling "M + S" ("M & S" / "M S") corresponding to the drawing;
• the period of restrictions on the use of certain wheels is adjusted by local governments, and only in the most side. In other words, a certain region can impose a ban on the use of tires with spikes since May and until September. While summer tires should be applied solely in the period from the beginning of June - until August.

Summarize:

1. Using summer Rubber (missing label "M + S" and other similar) is allowed in the period: march-November.;
2. Operation by car winter tires On (there is a marking "M + S") with spikes allowed only in the period: september-May.;
3. Use awakened wheels (including labeling "M + S") year-round.

All-season tires

The Law on Winter Rubber provides for the operation of "all-season" in the winter. True, there is a small condition: all-season tires are permissible to use in winter (from December to February) if they have an appropriate designation: "M + S", "M / S", "M & S". In other cases, the operation of this rubber is prohibited;

Penalties

Twelfth Chapter Codec Administrative offenses (COAP) does not refer to TP TS. Consequently, the penalty measures are the fact of the absence of winter tires is not provided.

But there is a fine (or a warning) for riding tires that do not apply to the technical regulations, in the amount of 500 rubles. Such a measure will be fair to the driver, which is installed on the car that has worn winter tires (M + S marking and other marking): The protector has a depth of less than four millimeters.

Amendments to traffic rules of 01.07.2015

The project provides some refinements:

• tire replacement is carried out by both axes, and on each wheel;
• summer period of operation prohibits wheels with spikes;
• operation of winter tires in the absence of spikes on them is not prohibited. For this there is no penalty, but there is a risk to give 500 rubles to the state with a protective, whose depth is less than four millimeters. Summer wheels should have a height from 1.6 mm.

There are rumors that the traffic police in violating the rules of operation of tires (not within the season) will have the right to finish the negligent drivers in the amount of 5,000 rubles.

RESULTS

The Law on Winter Rubber is:

• the shift of the summer tire on the winter is occurring in the period: September-November;
• as of 2015, the fine for the operation of the car on summer (all-season) wheels are not provided;

Meanwhile, from 01.11.15, new rules have been introduced ("On the safety of vehicles"), regulating the shifting of tires for the season. Whereas, since 2013, the law had been powerful, in whose authority did not enter the regulation of the operation of tires for the season. Penalties were also absent.

Innovations (from 01.11.15):
the use of summer rubber in winter on the car is strictly prohibited.

What is dangerous to use wheels not for season?

Using tires (summer / winter) out of direct purpose is fraught with:

• worsening coupling properties. The car has a large braking path (spikes on asphalt / non-stitching coating), worse controllability (risk of demolition / drift) and overclocking (slip), which affects the safety of motion;
• an increase in fuel consumption (tires for winter). This is due to the fact that the composition of the rubber of this tire differs from summer (greater weight + spikes) increases fuel consumption;
• premature wear. The soft composition of rubber on the tires for winter at high temperatures is strongly heated, which is associated with the loads from the ride provokes the destruction of the tire;
• injuries for surrounding and damage for cars (studded tires). It sounds paradoxically, but the fact. When operating a car, which has spiked wheels a great risk of their separation from the tire. As a result - spikes on inertia pops out from under the wheels and flies an arbitrary trajectory: in the passerby / car. As a rule, after a meeting with a thorough person / car, a minor damage is applied. In winter, it is justified, but not in summer.

Riding on a mono-drive car with studded wheels on one axis

Until recently, the operation of the machine was widespread, in which only one axis has spiked tires. It all started from the time of the USSR and the departure from the assembly conveyor in Togliatti of the first VAZ. Then the car was not a means of movement, but a luxury. As a result, the happy owners of "Zhiguli" literally blown to the dust with their favorite.

As a rule, in winter the machine was not used - only in extreme cases, hence - and saving on wheels.

Currently, the car has ceased to be an unattainable dream, and therefore the use of winter tires is only unacceptable for one axis, especially on the front drive.

Rumpschinitsa creates an imbalance of the clutch of the wheels with an expensive, as a result of which the car behavior becomes less forecasted and more dangerous.

Example: When installing on the front-wheel drive machine of studded wheels only on the front axis, the effect of "festivities" of the stern occurs due to low level Clutch with expensive rear tires. Sharp braking can cause a branch of the feed and turn a car that is fraught with an accident.

The rear-wheel drive car in the event of a "riding" on the leading axis acquires pronounced insufficient handling - before demolitions the path. It also creates a risk of automotive catastrophe.

One of the main factors affecting road safety is technical condition vehicle. In particular, in connection with the climatic conditions in the Russian Federation, most motorists of our country have to change the tires of the vehicle wheels, alternately using summer and winter tires. What does the law on winter tires say, what are the requirements for equipping the vehicle during the cold season, is it possible to use exclusively all-season tires and what rules began to act from November 1 of the current year?

Basic requirements and provisions of the law

The adopted draft law governing the use of winter rubber contains such data:

• The specific concept of winter rubber and its main characteristics. Moreover, such characteristics are directly dependent on the type of vehicle and its carrying capacity;
• Penalty car enthusiasts Employees of the traffic police are right only if specifications The rubber used does not correspond to the current year;
• The punishment in the form of a fine at the discretion of the auto inspector may be absent - in the presence of small inaccuracies, it is possible to be limited to the remarks;
• Such a concept as " all-season tires"There is no legislative act. When using certain tires in summer and winter time, tire marking and their technical characteristics are taken into account.

Today, the fine for the use of summer rubber in winter is not provided, however, according to the technical regulations, for riding the machine that does not correspond to the safety requirements of the road, the driver can be fined for the use of bald rubber (i.e., for not the conformity of the tread). The penalty is provided in Part 1 of Art. 12.5 COAP and equal to 500 rubles.

Period of mandatory use of winter tires

The adopted law on studded tires, caused a lot of issues and misunderstanding - when all the same need to be held seasonal shift Rubber in order to avoid the danger of bringing to responsibility and imposing a fine?

If we talk about the timing of the replacement of rubber on the winter, then the requirements according to the text of the law acting, taking into account the amendments of the law, are formulated as follows:

• It is forbidden to use tires with spikes of anti-skid in the summer period;
• It is forbidden to operate vehicles that are not equipped with winter tires that fully meet the requirements for them in the winter period;
• According to the regulations, the CU should be equipped with winter tires for the period 3 winter months (from December 1 - March 1) and summer tires for the period equal to 3 months (June - August). In some regions of the Russian Federation, according to changes made by the executive bodies, such norms can be shifted towards their increase or decrease. For example, for Moscow from November 1. This formulation is connected exclusively with the characteristics of the climate in each region - in some areas winter tires may not be demanded, but in the rest, on the contrary - its presence is required on the vehicle all year round.

Requirements for winter tires

In order not to get to be asked, you should definitely understand which tires from the point of view existing norms May be regarded as winter. So, characteristics that should meet winter tiresThe following:

• The minimum tread tread depth - it should be 4 mm;
• The corresponding marking, which is to be applied to the tires - a figure, which is a 3-peak vertex with a snowflake and alphabetic designation - M & S, M + S or M S;
• Lack of visible disorders and tire damage. Such violations may include separation of coating, cuts and tributes, obvious breaks, separation of layers on the side parts of the tire;
• The absence of cracks in disks even with full compliance of the tire itself to all requirements;
• Lack of part of fasteners on disks (bolts or nuts);
• It is forbidden to install on one axis of the car (front, middle, rear, etc.) of winter tires, differing in drawing, its design, model or type, degree of wear;
• The motorist is obliged to provide the presence of winter tires on all wheels, meets the requirements. For example, if there will be winter tires on three disks, and on one summer - such a violation is already equal to the control of the vehicle without winter rubber.

Separate moments that are interested in vehicle owners, this is whether it is possible to ride in the winter season by car, as tires using the so-called "velcro" or all-season rubber. In the event that such tires in their technical parameters Will meet the necessary requirements and will have an appropriate labeling, then their use is not considered a violation.

It is worth understanding that riding tires in winter, which do not comply with the required requirements, can be fraught with an imposition of a fine of 500 rubles. Even if this amount is not significant for you, you should not neglect the security guarantee, which gives the presence of such tires due to its better adhesion with a solid road in the cold season.

Video: Is the law on winter tires adopted?

All 2015 car enthusiasts discussed a new bill on how winter tires should be used. The law is accepted or not, still do not know many drivers. That is why it is important to deal with this issue. Especially since the violation rules PDD entails the imposition of fines.

Winter Rubber Law

First of all, it should be understood that this is the law on changing rubber on the winter and what is its main provisions. It is important to know that in this way is called the technical regulation of the Customs Union, which was adopted on January 1, 2015. It establishes the requirements for safe use of transport.

From this point on, it is forbidden to use the summer tires intended for riding in the winter and spikes equipped with spikes. And, on the contrary, it was forbidden to ride in summer wheels in winter. At the same time, the legislation establishes the requirement that all the wheels should be replaced at the same time.

However, the Law on Winter Rubber has a large number of shortcomings. One of the most significant is called the fact that there are no articles in it, which would prevent the requirements for tires used on cargo transportas well as on buses.

In addition, it is not entirely clear how the compliance of rubber will be checked by the requirements specified in the law. Relevant powers are available at points technical inspection. However, new cars are exempt from such a duty.

Why should you change rubber on time

Understanding when to put winter tires by law, you need to understand why it is so important to comply with the requirements of this regulatory act. The main purpose of the development Technical Regulations lies in improving road safety.

Invoyable installation of winter rubber can entail a number of problems:

• an increase in the length of the brake path significantly increases the likelihood of accidents;
• reducing the speed of movement leads to the formation of congestion on the roads;
• the car is drowned, as they cannot even overcome too cool lifts.

Rules of operation of the wheel

The Law on Winter Rubber establishes certain rules for the operation of tires:

1. In summer, it is forbidden to use rubber, which is equipped with spikes. The ban period is valid from June to August.
2. In winter, since December and ending February, it is impossible to ride on cars that are not equipped with winter tires.
3. All year round you can use a special non-sucking rubber (the so-called velcro). It should be the corresponding marking with letters M and S.
4. Depending on climate, local authorities have the right to change the timing of use different types rubber. You can only change them in the big face.
5. The tread depth in winter should be at least 4 mm, and in the summer - 1.6 mm.

Types of winter rubber

Usually, two types of winter rubber are distinguished - with spikes and velcro. Each of these types of tires has its advantages and disadvantages.

So-called velcro are made of special quality rubber. It is very mild and resistant to lower temperature. This allows you to guarantee the best grip with an expensive. Such tires can be said to be adhered to road surface. Best of all, they are suitable for use in regions with a neuror climate, as well as in urban conditions. However, the velcro is longer than in addition, they show themselves worse on ice and snow.

The safest is considered to be rubber with spikes. They are well suited for extreme frosts. At the same time, an excellent grip of studded wheels with an expensive can significantly reduce the brake path. Such rubber well shows itself on the icing road, and also covered with wet snow. Much worst indicators in such wheels during operation on wet asphalt. However, such wheels have disadvantages. They are quite heavy and when driving at high speeds are very noisy. In addition, the spikes are very quickly erased, fuel consumption during their operation increases.

Life of tires

An important requirement is not only that, according to law, it is also important that the tread depth was the required level. Therefore, you need to know how long you can use and how to increase the use of tires.

Calculate, after what time the protector will be unreasonable, it is impossible. It is possible to determine this only during use. Twisted tires are exposed to wear. They can be used no more than three seasons. Velcro can be operated much longer. All-season tires will last longer. However, they should not be used under extreme weather conditions: in severe heat or frost.

Thus, to predict, after how much the tire comes to the discrepancy between the law, it is impossible. However, there is a way to extend the time of useful use. To do this, you should not ride the wheels that do not apply.

Confirmation of the tire category

As for the so-called all-season tiresThe law does not have any information on how to certify such rubber. But manufacturers have found an output - they are on the same tires form two categories of evidence at once. One confirms the possibility of their use in summer, another - in winter.

On all winter tires in the near future, special marking in the form of a mountain range will appear. Such an icon is an international confirmation that tires are made of special arctic rubber, which is designed for use at low temperatures.

What rubber was out of law?

It's no secret that car tires spiked spikes road covering. That is why there are regulations on how many spikes should contain winter tires. Russia, this law supported this.

The only difference is in the amount of spikes on one mongrel meter. In Europe, the size of this indicator at the level of 50 is allowed. In Russia, it increased by 10.

Thus, the manufacturer will have to prove the compliance of the number of spikes installed in the standards. For this, a specialized test site is traditionally used. To determine the conformity of the tires set by the standards, the car is 100 times a certain portion of the road at a speed of 100 km / h. After that weighing a strictly defined section of the road and compare the result with a weight before the test start. If the result fits into the set standards, the tires verified meet the requirements.

To date, the rubber test procedure is widely used in European countries. However, there are no such test laboratories in Russia.

As a result, check the tires for compliance with the regulations is not possible. It turns out that in the winter you can use almost any rubber with spikes.

When to change rubber?

If you remember the rules of operation of the wheels installed in regulatory actsThe question, by law, will be automatically removed. To avoid disagreements with traffic police officers, it is necessary to do this until December 1. Back tires should be reinstalled until June 1.

But do not forget about security requirements. In accordance with them, it is not always the appropriate administrative period in which the transition to winter tires is carried out. The law indicates only the recommended time frame, but in life it should be guided by common sense. Regarding tire replacement time there are the following recommendations:

• It follows the winter tires when the road was covered by Founding several times. It is not always appropriate to change the wheels on the winter after the first frosts, which in Russia are even in September. Hold the car on a slippery road is not easy. Therefore, you should not pull too much with the replacement summer tires On the winter, waiting for the snow completely covered the ground.
