Mr.MofuYou all prefer Summer/Winter Tires or All-Weather Tires more?
BallShapedManThis is the way to get tires changed!
And we use summer/winter. My wife drives an EV and the low role resistance tires are crap on snow and ice. And I drive a sports car and I want the extra traction in nice weather.
I see. I’ve always heard that Allweathers kinda suck especially in the Winter
ironhydroxideAll weather tires suck in all weather.
Sure they’re better than winter tires in summer, and summer tires in winter (if barely in both cases), but in reality they just suck.
Disagree, strongly. Modern high performance all seasons fucking rip. Michelin Pilot Sport A/S or Continental Extreme Contact are very good tires. They’re not as good as dedicated summer/winter tires but they’re very far from sucking. If you don’t deal with snow (inches of accumulation) then good all seasons are more than adequate.
Can vouch for those continentals
There are all weather’s that a great in all conditions but none of those have low roll resistance or great on a performance car.
It depends on your use. Until these two cars I rocked great all weather’s that were fantastic for those cars. But my Corvette doesn’t get so weather’s and my wife’s Ioniq 5 loses a ton of range with winter tires but needs winter tires in the winter.
After switching to winter tires I can never go back. I got some summer tires to replace the all seasons I was using in summer time and they’re also amazing, but not as amazing as the winters in winter time.
Is the difference really this huge?
snooggumsDepends on the winter weather.
If there is a lot of snow, winter tires are far superior to all weather when driving in snow both for starting and stopping. Like being able to stop in half the distancenor move without spinning wheels.
I don’t think there is a huge difference for icy conditions.
I live in Kansas and we don’t get snow that lasts long enough to make winter tires worthwhile in my opinion, but if I lived in Colorado I would definitely get them.
helenslunchIn the deep cold weather? Snow? Ice? Yes, absolutely. This is not opinion, this is fact.
This is a great method because your new set will be correctly aligned along that 5 point star! No need to get your tires aligned at the shop. :)
