All-season tires are designed to provide a smooth, reliable ride in a variety of conditions. They work well in mild to moderate climates, offering traction on dry, wet, and lightly snowy roads. Their tread design balances durability with fuel efficiency, making them a great option for drivers who don’t experience extreme winter conditions.
However, when temperatures drop below 7°C, the rubber in all-season tires starts to harden, reducing their ability to grip icy or snow-covered roads effectively. While they perform well in light snow or rain, they may struggle in the more extreme winter conditions we often face here in Toronto.
