All-season (A/S)

An all-season tire is a versatile tire designed to perform reliably in a wide range of weather conditions, including dry, wet, and light snow, making it suitable for year-round use in moderate climates. It features a balanced tread pattern with moderate siping and grooves to provide good traction on wet and dry roads while maintaining some grip in light winter conditions. The rubber compound is formulated to stay flexible across a broad temperature range, ensuring consistent performance in both warm and cold weather. All-season tires offer a comfortable ride, decent fuel efficiency, and longer tread life compared to specialized tires, making them ideal for drivers seeking convenience and versatility without the need for seasonal tire changes. However, they may not match the extreme performance of dedicated summer or winter tires in severe conditions.
