The date for the mandatory winter tire requirement has changed.
A significant change has been made to the mandatory winter tire regulation implemented to improve driving safety across Turkey. Previously valid from December 1 to April 1, the new regulation extends the period to November 15 to April 15. This change was implemented taking into account that winter conditions start earlier and end later in some regions. The aim is to protect the safety of drivers and passengers at the highest level.

What Do the New Dates Mean?
According to the updated application:
Between November 15 and April 15
Winter tires are mandatory for commercial vehicles transporting cargo and passengers between cities.
For private vehicles, it is strongly recommended for the safety of life and property.
Winter tires are much safer than standard tires on wet, snowy, and icy surfaces, thanks to their rubber compound that maintains flexibility in low temperatures, special tread patterns, and short braking distances.
Why Are Winter Tires So Important?
Winter tires offer superior performance compared to summer tires not only in snowy conditions but also in all temperatures below 7°C. Specifically:
Shorter braking distance
Better road holding
Taking corners more safely
Reduced risk of slipping and sliding
protects both the driver and other individuals on the road.
