All season tires offer acceptable performance in most wet and dry conditions as well as some traction in snow. They provide longer tread life than summer tires but may offer less grip. Summer tires are designed for high performance and speed, with specialized tread patterns and rubber compounds that improve handling and braking capabilities. Drivers should consider their climate conditions and needs to determine whether all season or summer tires are more suitable.
All-weather tyres
The terms all-weather and all-season appear the same, however, they are not. Despite that the names are almost the same, all-weather tyres can perform better in winter conditions. They have treads that are blockier, like winter tyres. They are basically a hybrid between all-season and winter tyres and can take care of milder winter conditions.
Though it’s a big decision to buy the right tires for your vehicle, but it should not be a confusing one. Above slide shows you some guidelines to choose the most appropriate tire. Take a few minutes to see the different types of tires and a depth discussion on them. Here you’ll find guidance for tire selection process based on tire size, tire type and tire mixing. Let’s proceed.

The timely inspection and repair can prolong your tire's life and limit expense on it. Whether you have driven hundreds of miles or not but taking care of the tires once in a month definitely increases your safety and mileage. Apart from that, It's always important to know when the vehicle needs a tire replacement and repair. Check the slides here to know all the necessary steps of tire care.
The tires of a vehicle have an impact on everything from handling, acceleration- to even fuel efficiency. Through rolling resistance, the four sets of rubber affect the car’s gas mileage. Better tread depth reduces fuel consumption, whereas, under and over-inflation increases fuel consumption. The size of the tire also stimulates the fuel consumption rate. Hence, when it comes to improving overall gas mileage, it is obligatory to choose the tires of the right size and keep those tires properly inflated and maintained all the time.

Tubeless tires are designed in such a manner that the tire itself functions like a tube. The plies of the tire are similar whether it is a radial tire or a tubeless tire, but the difference is the presence of a inner lining layer that is made up of halogen butyl rubber such as chlorobutyl or bromobutyl rubber. This rubber has a special property of sealing any small puncture caused by a small nail or any other sharp object. This means that even if there is any mishap with a nail and a small puncture is caused by it, the tire seals the leakage itself by closing the leakage and the vehicle can cover distances up to 200 km without having to stop or getting the assistance of a mechanic to get the tire repaired.

Tyres are vulnerable to wear and tear with the passage of time. After a certain period of time, they have to be replaced. The key factors in determining the wear and tear of a tyre are measuring the tread depth and tread width. These factors have been discussed briefly in this document.
WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ALL SEASON TYRES VS SUMMER TYRES
1. WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN ALL SEASON TIRES VS
SUMMER TIRES
When debating between all season tires vs summer tires, the differences between
the two types can be easily misunderstood. Depending on your vehicle, driving
conditions, and personal preferences, one may be a better option than the other.
When choosing between summer and all season tires, it helps to understand the
benefits and limitations of each.
All Season Tires
An all season tire offers a balance of capabilities, providing acceptable performance
in wet and dry conditions, as well as traction in snow.
Built for the average driver, all-season tires have moderate tread depths and rubber
compounds that are engineered to provide longer tread life than summer tires, which
have shallower tread depths. All-season tires are offered in many types/models,
sizes, load capacities, and speed ratings for use on a wide variety of vehicles from
economy cars to sedans to mini-vans to pickup trucks. They tend to provide ride
comfort, handling, and other performance attributes suitable for most drivers.
2. All-season tires perform well in warm weather, but they may offer less grip than
summer tires, sacrificing some steering, braking, and cornering capabilities. This
trade off is necessary for all-season tires to be able to provide acceptable
performance in light winter conditions and provide longer tread life.
All-season tires are capable of providing traction in winter, but are not the best tire to
use in extreme winter driving conditions. Drivers who encounter extreme winter
weather may want to consider switching to snow tires in the winter.
Because all-season tires offer a blend of summer and winter performance, they are
often a good option for drivers in moderate climates and driving conditions.
Summer Tires
Summer tires are ideal for high performance vehicles, and are built for speed and
agility. They offer increased responsiveness, cornering, and braking capabilities.
This is typically attributed to specialized tread patterns and rubber compounds that
allow for improved precision on the road. The tread patterns of summer tires have
less grooving and put more rubber in contact with the road. They are designed to
provide maximum road-holding grip. The tread compounds of summer tires are
designed to remain more flexible, allowing for better traction and grip. Summer tires
may have shallower tread depths that allow for more stability when pushed closer to
their limits.
3. Dimensional characteristics (such as the tire’s width, aspect ratio, and rim diameter),
speed capability, and other design features make summer tires more suitable and
capable for increased performance in wet and dry conditions on high-performance,
sports-oriented vehicles. Surprising to some, summer tires provide better
performance in wet driving conditions, thanks to unique tread patterns that help
evacuate water and resist hydroplaning.
When it comes to winter driving, all-season tires may be more suitable than summer
tires, given their blend of summer and winter performance capabilities, but we
recommend considering making the switch to winter tires to get optimal traction and
performance in extreme winter conditions.
Choosing the Right Tire
Choosing the right tire isn’t as simple as mounting a set and never looking back.
When contemplating between a summer and all-season tire, consider your driving
conditions, the climate you live in, and performance needs.
It is best that all tires on your vehicle are the same type of tire – such as winter, all
season, summer, etc. Your vehicle’s tires should meet the manufacturer’s
recommended size, speed rating, load capacity, as well as any other recommended
specifications.
