In Karakol, where snow fell in early November, residents began actively changing tires on their cars. A Turmush correspondent found out the current prices for winter tires.

According to local residents, immediately after the snowfall, long queues formed at tire service centers, which lasted for about five days.

“Today the queues have significantly decreased, and I managed to change my tires. In the first days after the snowfall, there were so many cars that there wasn't enough time. People buy winter tires depending on their budget. For example, I chose used tires, which cost from 2500 to 3000 soms depending on the size,” shared his experience a resident of Karakol, Marsbek Mirbek uulu.

At vulcanization points, the cost of changing one wheel is 250–300 soms, which totals about 1200 soms for a complete replacement of four wheels.

Sellers in tire shops note a noticeable increase in the number of customers after the snowfall.

Current prices for tires (per unit):

Radius 13 — from 2650 to 3200 soms

Radius 15 — from 3300 to 4400 soms
