BlackBetty Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Little video I put together comparing the three tires. Gives an idea why summer and winter are designed for the best traction while the all seasons are jack of all but master of none. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eGuru Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 All-weather and summer tires are actually prohibited to be used during the winter months in some jurisdictions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackBetty Posted April 27, 2017 Author Share Posted April 27, 2017 I should have put that in the video too! I totally agree with it too. Here in Alberta it's not but I know in BC and some other provinces it is. The difference is pretty remarkable between an an all season and a winter tire. Hell even comparing a summer with an all season is day and night. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank F Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Jack of all; master of none? I guess it depends on the type of driving you're doing. One thing you won't see out of seasonal tires: longevity as compared to all-season tires. But hey, if you're constantly running at triple digit speeds or running at the cusp of traction, must go for the seasonal tires. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackBetty Posted April 27, 2017 Author Share Posted April 27, 2017 That's true, it's all what your looking to get out of a tire. Keep in mind if you are running all seasons year round they probably won't last as long as the other two sets since they're on half the time. When it comes to traction, safety and overall preformance having a winter and summer set is the way to go. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
