All-season tires are the ones most commonly fitted on a new vehicle's wheels. As the name indicates, all-season tires work well under most seasonal conditions. Drivers get winter and summer driving features from the wheels. Don't assume, however, these wheels are perfect for all conditions. In winter weather, you may need to switch to winter tires.
All-season tires are fine for light winter driving. In an area prone to heavy snow and ice, winter tires could be a much better choice. With winter tires, the tread is more flexible and delivers better traction.
