You all prefer Summer/Winter Tires or All-Weather Tires more? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

I currently have winter and summer. I think I'm going to go back to all weather (different than all season). They're really decent enough and I don't drive all that much (total km). Our weather is also bipolar.

Wait, there is a difference between All Weather and All Season Tires? I always thought they where the same

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

All-Season is the typical one you are thinking of.

All-Weather is winter rated that you can run all year, it meets the requirements for winter rating (that little snowflake in a mountain). There's only a couple lines.

They made a marketing mistake having a name so similar to all season. They should have named it something else.

No no, you have to choose; tires for one type of weather but for every season, or tires for one specific season but all types of weather. /s

IMO there's no such thing as all season tires (unless you live in a place where seasons don't affect driving conditions much), only slightly-terrible-all-year tires.

It really depends on where you live.

I've used winter-rated all-season tires that are incredible in icy conditions - Nokian.
