Time for winter tyres

Whether you are a new or experienced Leasys driver, your leasing contract covers both winter and summer tyres, along with tyre replacement and storage services. With the fall season, it's time for your summer tyres to make way for winter tyres.

Time for winter tyres

If you have not already done so, we would like to invite you to make an appointment with the tyre centre where your vehicle's tyres have been stored during the last rotation.

Will your vehicle be delivered after October 1?

Your vehicle will be delivered with winter tyres. Your first tyre switch will therefore be for the summer season.

You do not know the storage location of your winter tyres?

  • Use the My-Leasys Driver app

In the “Tyres” tab of your application, please select “Tyre change” to find out where your winter tyres are stored. Please contact the partner indicated to perform the switch.

Why change ?

In wet weather, but also in low temperatures (7° and lower), winter tyres provide better grip than summer tyres. Temperature severely affects the grip of the tread layer rubber. In Luxembourg, winter tyres are required by law in winter weather conditions.

In order to avoid billing at the end of the contract for abnormal tyre wear, remember to respect the seasons to make the swapping.

Check your tyre pressure at least once a month

A tyre naturally loses pressure over time, and the amount of air that is lost depends on the temperature. We therefore recommend that you check your tyre pressure, including the pressure of your spare wheel, at least once a month and before any long journey.

Driving with over-inflated or under-inflated tyres shortens your tyres’ lifespan, reduces your driving comfort and impairs the car’s braking and traction. Insufficient pressure causes the tyre’s casing to weaken, with the following consequences: a greater risk of overheating and therefore blow-out, increased rolling resistance and premature wear. Excessive pressure will reduce grip, the tyres’ lifespan and will increase the risk of uneven wear.

It is critical that you inflate your tyres to the pressure recommended by the manufacturer, because that pressure is specifically set for your vehicle. If you follow the recommendations, you will optimise the performance of your tyres, their longevity and your safety. Bear in mind that recommended pressures are different for front and rear tyres.
