A guide to all-season tyres

Monday 14th December 2020

All-season tyres are developed for use in countries with moderate yearly weather patterns. This makes them ideal for use in the UK and other European countries that have relatively mild climates. Learn more about all-season tyres from our guide today.

What are all-weather tyres?

All-weather tyres, also known as all-season tyres, as tyres which are designed to withstand the elements of each season while maintaining performance and safety of the vehicle. They are built to perform adequately on wintry and icy surfaces, as well as reducing aquaplaning on wet surfaces – while also being capable of maintaining good grip and handling on dry surfaces in the summer months, too.

All-season tyres are a popular choice for many motorists – as they reduce the need to change your tyres every six months to accommodate to the current season. However, it’s worth noting that although all-season tyres are perfectly acceptable to use for your vehicle, you are likely to experience a much more enhanced performance for your vehicle by choosing season specific tyres.

• Save money – by not having to fork out for replacement winter or summer tyres, you can save money with more affordable all-season tyres.
• Easy to drive – stable cornering and strong traction allows these tyres to perform well in both wet and dry conditions.
• Climate appropriate – as all-weather tyres are designed to perform effectively in both summer and winter months, if you live in the UK, these tyres are appropriate for the climate that you drive in.
