What is the difference between all-season tires and summer tires?
1 Answers
1. Different rubber compounds: Below 7°C, summer tires harden and lose elasticity in low temperatures, compromising their grip on rain, snow, and ice surfaces. In extremely low temperatures, there is even a risk of cracking. All-season tires are a compromise choice. 2. Different applicable ranges: Summer tires are essentially what national standards refer to as standard tires, suitable for regions with higher year-round accumulated temperatures. All-season tires are commonly found on off-road vehicles and SUVs, featuring larger and deeper tread patterns. 3. Different performance: Summer tires offer better water drainage and fuel economy during the rainy season, along with excellent braking performance. All-season tires maintain good traction and drainage performance across different seasonal climates and road conditions.
