When to switch to winter tires in Romania and their cost

adevarul.ro (Romanian)

Romanian law requires winter tires on snow, ice, or frost. No fixed date is set, but temperatures consistently below 6-8°C necessitate the change. Drivers typically switch to winter tires in October or early November. This is when summer tires lose effectiveness due to colder temperatures, impacting grip. Winter tire prices in 2025 vary widely, from around 150-200 RON for budget options to over 800 RON for premium brands. A set of four can cost between 600 and over 3,000 RON before mounting and balancing.
