Can I use my summer tires in the winter?

The short answer is no. Using summer tires in winter conditions might be dangerous and risks damaging your tires. We recommend against using summer tires if there’s any snow, it’s icy, or the temperature is frequently freezing. Winter is the time to fit your car with winter or at least all-season tires.

What is better all-season or all weather tires?

Generally speaking, all-seasons are intended for use only in warm, dry, and mild wet conditions. All-weather tires, on the other hand, are suitable for mild winter conditions with heavy rain, snowfall, and slush.

Are all-season tires as safe as winter tires?

Many all-season tires do great in the rain and bare pavement year-round. While a set of all-season tires can offer some traction in light snow and the occasional winter storm, they’re not designed for deep snow, ice, and cold weather (when temperatures stay below ~45º F).

Are Goodyear good tires?

Goodyear tires have been long praised for their exceptional wear – a criterion that is based on Consumer Report’s tread wear test. Additionally, Goodyear has earned its reputation as one of the best tire brands for tenacious grip and outstandingly responsive handling.

What is too cold for summer tires?

The safe summer tires temperature range is above 45-degrees Fahrenheit. Below 45-degrees, performance is dramatically decreased and at temperatures below freezing, things become dangerous.

Can you use all-weather tires in summer?

All-weather tires perform well in both summer and winter seasons, and save you from the tire changeover and storage hassles. The difference between all-weather and all-season tires really comes out when the pavement is wet, so imagine the difference in snow and slush conditions.

Do you really need winter tires?

Snow tires provide a lot more grip than regular tires, Lovegrove said, and when things are unpredictable on the road due to snow, high volumes of drivers and changing weather conditions, you’re better off safe than sorry. Snow tires are not only good for the snow, D’Arbelles said, but for really cold weather as well.
