Can winter tires be used all year round?

[DiOlive]

Winter tires can be used all year round, but it is not recommended to use them throughout the year. There are two main drawbacks to using winter tires all year round: 1. The tires will wear out severely, wasting the tires; 2. Fuel consumption will increase. Winter tires have better shock absorption performance than regular tires, meaning that using winter tires can improve ride comfort. Compared to regular tires, winter tires use a special formula to increase friction with snow and ice surfaces, with the advantage of improving traction and safety on snowy and icy roads. The tread material of winter tires is softer, and the carefully formulated silica-mixed rubber compound allows for closer contact with smooth ice surfaces, generating greater friction than all-season tires, significantly enhancing the vehicle's handling and safety on slippery ice surfaces.
