All Season Tyres
All-season tyres have been developed to provide motorists with a safe and reliable performance throughout the year on a variety of surfaces in all weather conditions.
All season tyres, also known as all weather tyres, are targeted towards drivers in countries that experience a moderate climate all year round where weather extremes are unlikely to happen. This makes all season tyres the perfect choice for UK residents.
All season tyres are a popular choice, as they host a range of benefits, including keeping you safe on the roads in all weathers, without the hassle of having to change your tyres from season to season.
How all-season tyres work
All season tyres have been developed with a new formula of compounds and innovations that have led tyre manufacturers to integrate the characteristics and features of both summer and winter tyres into one in order to deliver performance throughout every season in all weather conditions.
The intermediate compound and innovative design within all weather tyres means they can be used in both cold and mild temperatures, adapting to the slight change in weather throughout the year. While they can cope with a few days of snow, they work well in cold and wet conditions, as well as performing well during the summer months.
All season car tyres also feature a complex tread pattern, which has been designed with a heavily siped surface, much more so than a summer pattern, but not as heavily siped as a winter tyre. This high-density siping aids in the tread grip the surface of the road whether the ground is frozen, wet or snowy.
