However, given the current fluctuations in the weather, drivers should only use the rule with caution. There is only one rule of thumb rough orientationthat the summer tires should be up at Easter and down again from October. But what if there was still snow falling after Easter?

We have summarized what you should pay attention to as a driver. One rough orientation still offers the "O to O" rule. However, it becomes less accurate when Easter is early, like this year.

So it makes much more sense to change tires for a few more weeks waiting.
