“From O to O” is a well-known rule for many drivers. You should drive with winter tires from October to Easter, only then do you start changing to summer tires. For millions of drivers, it's time to switch to summer tires around Easter - and with it a possible purchase of new tires.
But when is the right time to buy summer tires? If you get the period right, you can save a lot of money. According to a study by the comparison portal
idealo,
prices for summer tires are cheapest in March, April and June, even though demand for new tires is extremely high here. Anyone who decides to buy summer tires in spring can save a lot of money. The savings potential is highest in April, according to a report from
idealo
.
According to this study, it is a fallacy that summer tires are cheapest in winter. In the cold months you have to dig deeper into your pockets for summer tires. It makes sense to only buy summer tires when they are actually needed. Below we will introduce you to different summer tires from different manufacturers.

What is
the mileage
of summer tires?
Summer tires should be changed after around 40,000 kilometers as the tires then no longer have the necessary tread depth. Let's assume you drive 10,000 kilometers a year and use the winter and summer tires for half a year each, then the summer tires will last a good eight years before they need to be changed.
