in the Dry the road, sun shining and frost is five degrees. Next winter it can be a summer tire weather.

in Finland, driven now to the last winter current winter tyre rules. Current according to the person motorists have to change the car to winter tires in early December and keep them under until the end of February. This has been the case, it was the weather or the weather whatever.

the New road traffic act will come into force on 1. June 2020. Winter tyres, the changes are significant. Special is, that the new law is at the same time as well as milder that tighter.

the milder it is, therefore, that winter tyres need the winter season used only if weather or road conditions require it.

the tighter it is, therefore, that if the weather requires winter tyres to use, keep them for next autumn from use already in November and use continued until the end of march.

All this sounds clear, but it’s not.

do you Require summer tires in the winter kesäkeli?

Interesting about Finland is that the future road traffic act is not recorded, when the weather or the weather is such that it requires winter tires. For example, in Germany it is recorded that winter tyres must be used if the road has ice, snow, slush or black ice.

in Finland, the legislator has left it, that car drivers enough reason. It is an interesting claim, since many nykyautoilijan have very little experience in the winter on slippery driving.

the vast Majority of the Finnish vehicle kilometres driven super treatment a class roads in circumstances where the condition of winter slipperiness may be only a few hours the entire winter. When the winters are shorter, can the same sections of the road aquaplaning danger instead be real for weeks.

Transport and communications ministry’s new law in the spirit of thinking that the right tyre choice is not treated fining of the season. The police board has not yet even been considered, what kind of weather is considered good enough, so the summer tires are in the car enough to keep.

Its degree of police of the district had met, that on the road, the police will, at least initially, mainly to share your comments, if it seems that the drivers is a summer tyre on the move in difficult weather.

we also need to remember that the wintry weather conditions and weather are not the same thing. March on a cold and sunny day can a freeway be a frost, but without the humidity, but not worthy of the name. At the same time, already short removal super treatment category from the highway to the nearby village on the road reveals that the winter it is still liukka its lowest point.

Presumably, a large part of the Finnish motorist of change year on winter tires less so than before. The situation is probably the same as in Sweden, where the corresponding ring rules all has gone well to date.

However, presumably also many of the southern Finnish families with two or more cars at their disposal, leave one of their cars with winter tires. When the real car is taken under the weather, according to. It, too, can be pretty wise, because the summer tires is, for example, November in the pouring rain got more ring.

Background persuasion studded tyres friction tyres

until now, few have said aloud, that the finns should move to the winter tire choices for friction tyres. Pins and flat between the superiority of arguments is a Finnish perpetual motion. And now who fight would want to? But tire problems is constantly increasing. Times change.

”How the government has taken account of the studded tyres of the problems caused by the state and local economy, climate change treatment and the environment, and what measures the government intends to do to the owner of the car to control tire selection in less road-intensive and polluting alternatives to the introduction?”

the Attached quote is for the true finns mps Jussi Wihosen on November 13. days from filing a written question vehicle tyre choice of the impact to roads and the environment. The answer from the government is obtained at the beginning of December.

the Government response wihosen to come across to read carefully. Although it was not out loud said, so in June came into force the road traffic law, the new winter tyre rules in the background has also been in the ministry of transport and communications hopes to get motorists to move pin friction tyres.

3PeakMountainSnowFlake-entry looks like this.Derrick Frilund / ylej to point all winter rubber is ”3PeakMountainSnowFlake”

Perhaps surprisingly, just talvimaa in Finland has never previously defined what kind of winter tires really should be. Until now, legal in a ring is enough, that the manufacturer has announced the intention to manufacture the tire suitable for winter use.

But now this thing is defined and it should be out of the Finnish market and the road, some winter tires. Transport and communication the agency trafi ‘ s has started the definition phase, which should be completed at the same time, when the new road traffic act will enter into in June into force.

more Likely in Finland, stipulates that winter tyres must always be provided 3PeakMountainSnowFlake-entry. This label is not an official transcript the name, but it is known to us at least the name ”mountain symbol”, ”snow flake sign” or ”alpine mountain entry”.

3PeakMountainSnowFlake there is a ring on the side of the mold mark in this manufacturing stage of the printed stamp with a mountain within view of the snow flake. It must not be printed or painted to the ring afterwards.

3PeakMountainSnowFlake-marking requires that the ring is the accreditation body of the testing. Merely a manufacturer’s declaration is not then enough. At the same time it means, that for example M&S tyres (mud & snow) are no longer for winter tyres in Finland would be nice.

a New law in accordance with tire rules is becoming a hard requirement of a love triangle. Firstly, the summer tires have winter to drive everyone living in Finland or here in his car to come, if the weather permits.

on the other Hand, in winter weather, in which Finland does not have many of the rest of the country in a way defined by the law, under the car should be 3PeakMountainSnowFlake-marked winter tyres.

And yet the Finnish winter tyre rules should be balanced in the european legislation. Foreign cars driven in Finland in winter weather, I can’t deny by insisting on winter tyres from unreasonable. Rest of the approved winter tires should be able to drive us.
