All-Season Tires

All-season tires are an excellent choice for those in mild to moderate climates, providing reliable, year-round performance without seasonal changeovers. All-season tires carefully balance durability, comfort, and traction on wet and dry roads. These could be worth considering if you don’t drive in extreme winter conditions.

All-season tires are suitable for mild winter conditions, offering some traction in light snow. However, they are not ideal for extreme winter weather. The professionals at your local Les Schwab show you how siping your tires can add grip in light snow. For heavy snow or icy roads, a dedicated set of winter tires could be a better choice.

All-season tires are built for traction on wet roads, with tread designs that can reduce the risk of hydroplaning. They offer reliable grip and control in rain, but performance may vary based on the specific tire model and tread design. For regions with frequent, heavy rain, you may want to look for all-season tires designed to move water away from the tire.

The lifespan of all-season tires depends on factors like driving habits, road conditions, and regular maintenance. Manufacturer warranties vary depending on the tire, and can range from 40,000 to 80,000 miles. With every tire purchase at Les Schwab, you also receive America’s Best Tire Warranty at no additional cost, which includes our no-hassle road hazard protection, free tire maintenance, and a 60-day satisfaction guarantee.

All-season tires offer versatility. But what they have in year-round convenience, they can lack in winter and summer performance. All-season tires don’t perform as well as winter tires on snow and ice and may lack the handling and traction of summer tires in high heat. All-season tires are best suited for areas without extreme seasonal conditions.

The best choice depends on your climate. All-season tires are ideal for mild to moderate climates, providing balanced performance in various conditions, from dry roads to light snow. All-weather tires, which are also a year-round tire option, can be well suited for colder regions with moderate winter weather, offering improved traction in the snow with a 3-peak mountain snowflake (3PMSF) rating for enhanced winter safety.
