Delticom AG, Hanover – 07/01/2010: Frozen lakes, cotton candy on trees: Winter has transformed Germany and broad stretches of Europe into a picture book landscape. Temperatures fell below -5 degrees in many places and are predicted to go even lower in the coming days and nights. But the cold snap comes at a price, especially for motorists.

Europe, a winter (tire) tale...?!

Kilometer-long jams and many accidents have resulted from the current cold weather. Motorists who still have summer tires on their vehicles are a danger to themselves and others. They are frequently the cause of jams and the ensuing chaos on the roads, especially on hills and curves. Experts never cease trying to warn drivers of the need to switch over to winter tires with more traction. The special winter tires are noticeably safer.
