What do you have to take into consideration when going on a journey across Europe with a car in wintertime?
There are many things that one has to take into consideration. One is the quality of the car. If you are planning a long journey and you have an old car, you should be also thinking maybe updating your car, at least at some point. Having a new car for the road isnt just about showing off or driving with new wheels, its mostly about safety. Travelling with an old car on longer journeys is not safe. It is not only about your safety but also the fellow travellers. It is important that every car on the road is road worthy. Choosing tyres (in Finnish: renkaat) is as important as choosing shoes for the night out. Proper tyres make all the difference on the road. Not only do they decrease your consumption but they also make your journey safer. Tyres give the grip your car needs even at high speeds or on slippery surface.
When travelling in the wintertime, you should take into consideration that even though it might be nice gravel and tarmac in Spain, it might be snowing in Sweden. What tyres should you wear in this situation? Best is to use experts when planning your journey. When you know the route and you have checked the weather expectations on the Internet, you can ask your local tyre shop which ttres are most suitable for the type of journey that youre about to make. You can also find a lot of information online about tyres and how they react to different weather. Remember, choosing tyres is not only about comfortable driving or consumption, it is also about safety.
Going on a journey well equipped and without worries is so much more fun than leaving with a bad feeling and unprepared. You have to know your car and know your situation in case of something happens on the road. Wintertime in Europe is beautiful so you should really take the most out of it and head for a journey across the Europe. Just make sure you are well prepared.
