Although the winter tire installation rate has increased compared to last year, the installation rate for small cars is still about half.

For customers who go to the snowfall area, such as returning to their hometowns during the year-end and New Year holidays, sudden snowfall may cause the vehicle to become stuck or slip, resulting in an accident, which could greatly affect smooth traffic on the Expressway There is.

  • Please wear early winter tires and carry a tire chain.

Even in the Tokyo metropolitan area, road surface freezing and snowfall can occur.

  • Once the heavy snow forecast is announced, please equip yourself with winter equipment and refrain from going out when it is not necessary or urgent.
