AUTOBACS SEVEN Co., Ltd. (Representative Director & Chief Executive Officer: Yugo Horii) has collaborated with Weather Map Co., Ltd. (Representative Director & President: Akira Mori) to launch the “Winter Tire Replacement Frontline MAP,” a content service utilizing weather forecast data, on the AUTOBACS official brand website from October 15, 2026.

 

In addition, video content titled “Learn with a Weather Forecaster! Cars and Weather” will be distributed to provide useful information for drivers, including preparation for weather and seasonal changes and disaster prevention knowledge.

 

In recent years, as concern over weather-related risks such as heavy rain, typhoons, and heavy snowfall has increased, drivers are being required more than ever to prepare in advance and take safety measures based on changing weather conditions. At the same time, demand for snow tire replacement tends to concentrate within a short period following snowfall forecasts and first snow reports, resulting in store congestion and a surge in service reservations.

 

This initiative aims to support customers in preparing for winter in a planned manner and promote a safe and secure car lifestyle by clearly communicating recommended timing for snow tire replacement through the use of weather forecast data.

About the “Winter Tire Replacement Frontline MAP”
The “Winter Tire Replacement Frontline MAP” is content that visualizes recommended timing for snow tire replacement by region based on weather forecast data provided by Weather Map, including temperature and snowfall forecasts (as of October 15, 2026). Since the appropriate timing for changing to snow tires differs by region, this content encourages early preparation and helps customers create replacement plans well in advance.

A “Tire Replacement Frontline MAP,” providing guidance on when to switch from snow tires to summer tires, is scheduled to be released in late February 2027.
This content is provided as reference information based on weather forecast data. Actual weather conditions may change, so please check the latest weather information before driving.

About the Weather Forecaster Video Content
Video content titled “Learn with a Weather Forecaster! Cars and Weather” will be distributed through AUTOBACS’ official YouTube channel and official X account. Weather forecasters will clearly explain seasonal car lifestyle tips and disaster preparedness knowledge, providing information that helps drivers gain awareness and prepare appropriately.
