Tire Change
Changing summer and winter tires is a mandatory procedure for every driver in Finland. Volkkarihuolto auto service in Espoo offers professional seasonal tire change services, including tire mounting, balancing, and, if necessary, selection of new tires. We service all popular car brands, including Volkswagen, Audi, Skoda, Seat, and Cupra, as well as other brands.
When is it time to change tires?
We recommend focusing not on the calendar, but on actual weather conditions. As soon as the temperature consistently drops below +5°C, it's time to switch to winter tires. In spring - on the contrary, it's worth replacing winter tires with summer ones to avoid their rapid wear.
Timely tire change is the key to safety, economy, and driving comfort. Winter tires provide reliable grip on snow and ice, while summer tires perform well on dry and wet asphalt. Using inappropriate tires increases the risk of accidents, vehicle wear, and fuel consumption. We will help you avoid these problems.

When to change tires and what to pay attention to?
Tire replacement is an important part of car maintenance that directly affects your safety on the road. Installing new tires on time is necessary not only due to seasonal changes but also as the tires wear out.
- 1New winter tires typically have a tread depth of about 10 mm, while summer tires have about 8 mm. When the tread wears down to half of its initial value, for example, to 4 mm on summer tires, road grip significantly deteriorates.
- 2You should also regularly check the condition of tires for external damage: cracks, cuts, or bulges. If a tire loses pressure and needs frequent inflation, it's probably time to replace it.
- 3Uneven wear also signals problems - it can be caused by, for example, incorrect wheel alignment or low pressure.
- 4Even if tires look externally intact and not worn to a critical level, they should be replaced if they have been used for more than six years.
- 5Tire storage also affects their service life. Tires should be kept in a dry, cool place, away from direct sunlight, heat sources, oils, and solvents.
Tire Storage
Tire storage also affects their service life. Tires should be kept in a dry, cool place, away from direct sunlight, heat sources, oils, and solvents. They should not be under load, compressed, or deformed. If there is no suitable space, you can use the tire hotel service - it's a convenient and safe way to store tires.
