However, the obligation to replace winter tyres with summer ones does not apply to all types of tyres. In fact, winter tyres that have a speed code equal to or higher than that indicated on the registration certificate of the car on which they are fitted cannot be replaced and can be used throughout the year without incurring penalties.

This is because summer tyres tend not to overheat excessively as the winter ones. Moreover, winter tyre, having more grip on the ground, are noisier than the summer ones that have a lower noise index.

As a matter of fact, they are composed with a stiffier material, with a shorter percentage of natural gum, able to resist on the boiling asphalt. In this case, the tread is more compact and tought to mantain the maximum adeherence.
In addition to what we mentioned above about the reduced fuel consumption and on the noise, summer tyres are known for giving better driving handling and for shortening the braking distance.
