From November 15 to March 1, motor vehicles in Bulgaria must by law be fitted with tyres suitable for winter conditions.
According to the law, approved by Bulgaria’s Parliament in 2016, cars must have tyres designed for winter conditions or that have a tread depth of no less than or equal to four millimetres, the Interior Ministry said.
The Road Traffic Act allows the use of all-season or even summer tyres if they meet the grip requirement, but experts strongly recommend winter tyres for better safety in cold weather.
The traditional Interior Ministry “Winter” campaign, which aims to increase drivers’ attention to preparing their cars for the upcoming winter season, started on November 1.
