7 degrees Celsius, or 45 degrees Fahrenheit, as per Volvo tests. Above 7C, all-season & summer tires get better the warmer it is. Below 7C, winter tires get better the colder it is.

Should the best tires go on the front of your vehicle?

It is recommended that all four tires on your vehicle be equal to one another, to avoid an uneven setting of tires. Really, it mostly depends on your definition of 'best'. If the 'best' tires are the more inflated tires, then you shouldn't put them on your vehicle at all. Usually, the better tires should go on the back of the vehicle (the two rear tires). However, if the better tires are vastly better than the other tires, then do not put them on your vehicle, because it would cause unbalancing in the vehicle, and other issues.


Why do you need to change the winter air to summer air in your tires?
