All Season Tires
The term “all season tires” was first used in the 1970’s by tire manufacturers. They used it to describe types of tires that can perform in all seasons. Manufacturers decreased the effectiveness of wet weather gripping in order to increase the mobility of the tire in cold temperatures. All seasons are a great option, but will never perform better than their winter counterparts that are fully designed for messy roads and cold temperatures.
All season tires can handle some winter driving but are more effective for the other 3 seasons: spring, summer & fall. Many vehicles leave the factory fitted with all seasons so they provide a quiet ride, decent tread life and year round performance.
In order to provide this year-round performance, all-season tires are made without some main winter or summer capabilities. The capabilities include things like extreme grip, sharp handling or driving on ice. They are a great overall tire, but depending on your driving habits and location, summer and/or winter tires may needed. Not sure if all-season tires are right for you?
