  2. CAN WINTER TIRES BE USED YEAR- ROUND? • Winter tires are excellent on the road during the cold season. But as the temperature climbs, they become less and less efficient. That is why it is not recommended to use them on your vehicle all year round. When summer comes, you will need to switch to summer tires that are specially built for the dry summer roads.

  3. CAN WINTER TIRES BE USED YEAR- ROUND? • All winter tires, including studded and non-studded ones, are designed to maintain better traction on the road when the weather becomes freezing. They are manufactured with a particular rubber compound that remains soft and flexible even when temperatures drop below 7 degrees Celsius. Another feature that makes the winter tires perfect for the winter roads is the deeper tread depths as well as the specialized tread designs. All these features make these tires ideal for mild winter weather as well as the extreme cold driving conditions that you will be subjected to during this season.

  4. CAN WINTER TIRES BE USED YEAR- ROUND? • So what could happen if you decide to use winter tires all year round? Using winter tires in summer could lead to faster wear on warm, dry pavements. If you compare a winter tire side to side with a summer tire, you will realize that the former is designed to be considerably more flexible. Even though the pliable rubber of the winter tires is good at providing traction on the snowy and icy winter roads, it would wear down very quickly if used in warm temperatures. When summer comes, you should swap to summer or all-season tires that are designed to withstand mild temperatures and provide longer wear life.

  5. CAN WINTER TIRES BE USED YEAR- ROUND? • Using winter tires in summer could also lead to decreased performance. When the weather becomes warm, you should not expect the winter tires to provide the same handling capabilities as their all-season or summer counterparts. You will not be able to make quick maneuvers easily on the summer roads because of the soft nature of the winter tires. They will not provide a crisp response as dedicated summer tires would.
