Swap to winter tires at the right time
-
Follow O-to-O, adjusted by forecast.
October to Easter as the frame; the trigger is sustained mornings under seven degrees, where summer rubber hardens and loses grip.
-
Check tread before mounting.
Four millimetres is the working minimum for winter tires, whatever the legal floor says. The euro-coin test: the golden rim must disappear.
-
Mark positions when you dismount.
Chalk or crayon: FL, FR, RL, RR. Rotating positions each season evens the wear.
-
Torque, then re-torque.
Star pattern to spec, and again after fifty kilometres. Self-swappers skip the recheck; wheels notice.
-
Store the summers right.
Washed, pressure plus half a bar, stacked on rims or upright off-rim, cool and dark. Tire hotel receipts also count as a solution.

#1 becomes the Core. This atoma is young: submit a better distillation and take the seat.
No gear needed. Your pot, a timer and ice are enough. That is the point.
