All-season Tyre
An all-season tyre is a compromise tyre for year-round use in moderate climates.
What is All-season Tyre?
Many carry the 3PMSF symbol and qualify as winter tyres in some countries. They perform between summer and winter tyres. They avoid seasonal tyre changes. They suit drivers who cover moderate distances in mild winters and want to avoid storage and fitting costs. Wear can be faster in hot summers. Read independent tests, because quality varies widely. Some models are tuned more toward summer and others more toward winter.
How it works
The compound and tread combine features of both seasons.
Why it matters for your car
In severe winters or hot climates, dedicated tyres perform better. Check local rules on winter equipment.
