Finland's tire shops are gearing up for a busy period following an unexpected return to winter weather that temporarily halted the early start of the tire-changing season.

Teemu Tuuri, Chairman of the Finnish Tire Federation, highlighted the unusual challenge faced by both drivers and tire businesses.
