Winter or all season tyres: Tips on choosing what’s right for you
The main element to consider is the kind of winter conditions you are likely to face with your vehicle.
If you regularly encounter snowy roads, have to drive in very low temperatures, live in or must often travel to areas which are difficult to reach in winter (steep slopes, unploughed roads, etc.), then the best option for you is to use winter tyres.
If, however, you only occasionally drive on snow-covered roads (either because you live in a region with minimal snowfall or because you take fewer than three ski holidays per year), then all season tyres are your best choice. If you were previously a winter tyre user, switching to all season tyres will spare you the bi-annual tyre swap, saving you both time and energy.
