From 15th October cars may use winter tyres and from 1 December it is mandatory to use them. Studless tyres can be used throughout the year.

Although daytime temperatures can be in the plus side and major roads are snow-free, the risk of slippage remains due to nighttime temperatures.

The better the tires, the more firmly the car stays on the road. In the case of winter tyres, it is important to remember that the residual tread depth of the winter tyre must be greater than 3 mm.

Winter tyres can be used in Estonia from October 15 to March 31. As an exception, in the event of winter road and weather conditions, studded tyres may be used from October 1 to April 30.
