Turkey’s mandatory winter-tire requirement took effect today, with drivers who fail to fit winter tires facing a fixed penalty, while the cost of buying and mounting tires has risen. The article reports that both fitting and skipping winter tires are expensive for motorists, and it details the current penalty for non-compliance along with the fees charged for mounting and removing winter tires. It notes that winter-tire prices have increased, adding to the overall cost for drivers who must comply with the seasonal rule. The requirement matters because it affects millions of vehicle owners and creates a recurring seasonal expense for tire purchases and fitting services. What to watch next is how the price increases and mounting fees evolve through the winter season and whether compliance rates hold under the penalty regime.
