All-season tires: a good choice or a compromise

The question "do all-season tires make sense" arrives every autumn. The answer: it depends where and how much the customer drives.

Who they suit

• Drivers under 12,000 km a year — a seasonal set would age out before it wears out.
• City driving in a mild climate — little snow, rarely below −5°C.
• Anyone who refuses two seasonal changeovers and waiting in line.

Who they do not suit

• Mountain roads and real winters — all-season is not a winter tire. On snow and ice the difference is measurable.
• High-mileage drivers — a dedicated seasonal tire lasts better and costs less per kilometre.
• Drivers who want precision — all-season compromises at both ends.

The honest recommendation

For city driving with low mileage: all-season is practical. For everything else — two seasons, two sets, less worry.
