Summer and all-season tyres are designed with different priorities. Summer tyres focus on warm-weather grip and handling, while all-season tyres are designed to provide broader usability across changing conditions.
Summer tyres
They are generally designed for warm conditions and can prioritize dry and wet-road handling in those temperatures.
All-season tyres
They are designed as a compromise for drivers who want one tyre type across a wider range of temperatures and conditions.
Which specification matters?
Consider your local climate, road conditions, driving style, vehicle manufacturer’s recommendations and the tyre’s approved specification. There is no single tyre type that is appropriate for every vehicle or climate.
