Winter Tires - This type of tire is suitable for snow and ice covered roads. The tread pattern features a heavily siped, fine-block design with grooves that are deep and wide, providing excellent driving traction and braking performance on winter road surfaces. The tread rubber used in winter tires provides good friction characteristics and suppleness even in low temperatures. At present, winter tire design is focused toward braking performance and driving control on icy roads. Recent developments in tire pattern design and rubber technology have greatly improved winter tire performance.
All-Season Tires - These tires are designed to be used all year round to save having to change the tires to suit the season. All-season tire patterns are more complicated than those of the summer tire because of the longer block-edge for winter usage. More sipes appear in the all-season tire than summer tire to improve the braking and driving performance by maximizing the effect of edge. It is important to remember that in regions where winter temperatures are very low and heavy snow falls are frequent, braking performance will rarely be 100 percent so it is safer to use winter tires. All-season tread designs will provide good all-around traction for varying road conditions, but still provide good treadwear and tire noise characteristics.
