Spring and Summer Come with Surprises Too
Even as temperatures rise, road trips can take you through areas where weather changes unexpectedly: sudden storms, hail, dense fog, or even snow in mountain passes.
That’s why keeping Goodyear snow socks in your trunk remains a smart and responsible choice.
High-Risk Zones in Warm Months
Despite the sunshine, some routes remain risky:
- High-altitude mountain roads (Pyrenees, Alps, Sierra Nevada, etc.)
- Elevation changes above 1000 meters
- Night driving with sudden temperature drops
Why Being Prepared Pays Off
1. Safety All Year Round
A June storm can be just as dangerous as a January snowstorm if you’re unprepared.
2. Avoid Fines on Regulated Roads
In some regions, traction devices are still required even if no snow is visible.
3. Peace of Mind on Long Trips
Knowing you’re equipped for the unexpected makes every journey more relaxing.

Don’t Underestimate the Weather: Be Ready for Anything
Traveling in summer doesn’t mean the weather will always cooperate. Keeping your Goodyear socks and basic supplies handy can make a big difference.
