NEXCO EAST Tohoku Regional Head Office (Miyagino-ku, Sendai City) has conducted a survey on the installation rate of winter tires at Expressway in order to encourage drivers to change to winter tires and drive safely as the winter season is approaching.
2024 According to the survey conducted on Monday, December 2, the installation rate of winter tires was 89%, which is still less than 100% in some areas. In Miyagi and Fukushima prefectures, in particular, the winter tire installation rate is in the 80% range, with approximately 20% of customers driving with normal tires. Some sections of Expressway in the Tohoku region have already experienced snowfall accompanied by snow accumulations. Changing to winter tires before the snowfall season will protect you and your loved ones.

- "Drive with winter tires on winter roads"
Driving on snowy roads with normal tires is extremely dangerous. Accidents are more likely to occur in the early winter.
Switching to winter tires early will protect you and your loved ones. - 『タイヤの点検で脱輪防止』
タイヤの交換時期には脱輪が発生しやすくなります。
高速道路を走行中に脱輪が発生してしまうと、脱輪した車両はもちろんのこと、脱輪したタイヤが他の車両に接触したり、工事規制内に勢いよく飛んでいくと、規制内の作業員にも危険が及んだりします。
ナットの締め方に緩みが無いか確認するとともに、交換したタイヤの空気圧も補充いただき、脱輪事故防止やタイヤバースト防止に努めていただきますよう、ご協力をお願いします。 - "Driving slowly and safely on snowy roads"
When driving on snowy roads at the beginning of the season, you may not yet be familiar with how to drive safely on snowy roads.
Even if you are using winter tires, please remain vigilant, keep a safe distance from other vehicles, drive slowly and safely, and avoid sudden steering or braking. - "Collect information diligently before and during your trip"
Weather conditions can change suddenly on winter Expressway, so please be sure to check road and weather information frequently both before and during your trip.
