Top Reasons All-Weather Tires Are Ideal for Car Owners

June 4, 2021 by Hardik K

For most Canadian, tire change is quite common with the change in the climate. For summers, there are summer tires, while for winters, there are winter tires.

Do you know?

There are all-weather tires and all season tires as well.

Many people feel that both are the same and use them interchangeably. However, both of them are quite different from each other.

  • If the winter is not far off, you would probably be thinking of a tire change from all-season tires to winter tires.
  • There is one more class of tires, which you can consider while going for a tire change. These are all-weather tires.
  • All weather tires are not the same as all season tires. While driving in extreme winter weather or freezing temperature, all weather tires are far superior compared to all season tires.

All Weather Tires vs. All Season Tires:

Let us understand the difference between the two to help you with seasonal tire change:

Rubber Compound: A Key Differentiation Between All Weather Tires and All Season Tires

  • It all comes down to the rubber compound that they are made from.
  • When the temperature falls below 7 degrees Celsius, the rubber compound of all season tires
  • To have a perfect grip on the road, especially during the winter, tires need to have flexibility.
  • As all-season tires get harder during winters (below freezing), they lose their traction and are not at all suitable for driving.
  • On the other hand, the rubber compound used to make all weather tires remain soft, even below freezing temperature (till -25oC).
  • Hence, all weather tires offer greater traction and can handle snow during winter.
  • All weather tires are flexible above and below 7o

Can All Weather Tires Handle Harsh Winter Conditions?

  • In harsh winter conditions, there is plenty of snow, ice, and slush on the Canadian roads.
  • All weather tires are capable of handling mild winter conditions that involve light snowfall and rainfall.
  • For harsh winter conditions having plenty of snow, a winter tire change would be the perfect option.

Can All Weather Tires Be Used During Summer?

  • All weather tires are perfectly suited for driving during summer when the temperatures rise.
  • The rubber compound used for manufacturing all weather tires does not get soft while driving in the summer heat.

Are there Any Drawbacks to Using All Weather Tires?

  • All weather tires can be used in all seasons. This means that they are capable of handling a wide range of temperatures.
  • All weather tires generally get worn out much faster compared to all season tires or winter tires.

All Weather Tires: A Blessing For Drivers

  • Since all weather tires work well in winter as well as summer, they can be used all around the year without compromising on the safety aspect.
  • Having all weather tires, drivers won’t need frequent tire change.

To sum up, all weather tires offer great flexibility and adaptability in all four seasons in Canada: winter, summer, spring, and fall. On the other hand, all season tires are best suited for all seasons, except winter.
