WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SUMMER, WINTER & ALL-SEASON tires?


The type of tire you need can also depend on what season it is during the year.

·Summer tires have less grooves, big, solid ribs and a shallow tread depth which allows them to perform best in warmer weather on both dry and wet roads. This includes braking distances, handling, grip, and traction on the road. Theyre also popular among sporty drivers due to their better cornering and breaking abilities.

· Winter tires have a softer and more elastic rubber compound, which ensures youll still get grip and traction in cold climates. In warmer weather, this soft compound will degrade quicker than summer tires. Winter tires also have specially designed sipes to deal with additional rain and snowfall on the roads at that time of year.

· All season tires combine design elements of both winter and summer tires, providing you with excellent performance all year round. The tread depth is not too shallow like in summer tires or deep as in winter tires .The tire compound is slightly harder, especially comparing with winter tires. The all-season tire has a longer tread life due to its harder compound. But its compound is not as hard as that of a summer tire.
