An all-season tire is a compromise — it's not the best in summer or winter, but it saves you a second set, changing, and storing. So the question isn't whether it's worse than a seasonal tire. It's whether the compromise is reasonable in your case.
For whom do they make sense?
They are suitable for drivers who drive less than 15,000 km per year, drive mainly in the city and at lower altitudes, and do not regularly go to the mountains in winter. In such a mode, you will hardly notice the difference compared to seasonal tires in practice.
For whom rather not
If you drive a lot of highway miles, live in a mountainous area, or regularly drive in snow, two seasonal sets will work better for you — both in terms of safety and wear. An all-season compound is always somewhere in between, and it's noticeable at the extremes.
Pay attention to 3PMSF, not M+S
This is the most important detail when choosing. The 3PMSF symbol (mountain peak with snowflake) means that the tire has passed a winter performance test. The manufacturer can also give the M+S marking without any test. From November 15 to March 31, a winter tire is considered a tire with 3PMSF — an all-season tire without this symbol will not help you in winter conditions.
What tread depth is still enough?
Since you use an all-season tire in winter, follow the winter rule: the minimum is 3 mm . Below this limit, it loses its ability to drain snow and water from the tread and compromise becomes a risk.
How we compile rankings
We do not sell tires and do not represent any brand. We compile the score from the results of independent tests by reputable organizations and driver reviews, when we add current prices from verified online stores. This is especially important for all-season tires — the differences between models are greater here than in seasonal categories.
Choose by size
Enter the size you have on your car (you can find it on the sidewall of the tire or in the technical certificate) and we'll show you all-season tires in that size, sorted by score.
