Is it cheaper to run Summer+Winter tyres for their respective seasons, or just one set of all seasons for the whole year?
I imagine that it's still cheaper to use all seasons, but it also makes sense that rubber designed to fare well in "all seasons" might not survive as well at the extremes as winter/summer tyres.
Do you want to die? If so, run all seasons all the time.
exactly. all seasons will outlast both summer and winter tires cause theyre hard as fuck and dont grip for shit in either situation
Veeky Forums fucking hates all seasons you might as well just use summer tires all year. If you must use the same ties all year it's SAFEST to use winter tires all year but they will wear out faster when it's hot

its obviously cheaper to run all seasons. One set of tires is way less maintenance. With winter and snow tires you either have to have a completely separate set of wheels to put them on or you have to pay to have them mounted and demounted every semester.
Summer tires are made of a rubber (and have a special tread) that enables them to grip better on dry, hard, soft surfaces. They fair poorly in heavy rain, and will lose traction easily if any debris gets under them. They also operate poorly in cold temperatures.
Winter tires are made of a rubber (and with a special tread) that grip better in cold temperatures. Their tread enables them to dig through snow effectively. They're loud and don't have as good tread on surfaces that aren't snow and ice. This is why its recommended that unless your region is unusually cold or experiences heavy snow, all seasons will do the job just fine.
summer slicks are a bit of a novelty for sporty type cars. All seasons have a jack of all trades performance to them where they're good at gripping in the summer and winter while not being optimal for either.
All seasons tires are designed to survive any season.
all seasons are shitty in winter, i drive one of my trucks in winter and just have all-weather tires on it. theyre actually extremely close to a winter tire but you can safely run them in summer without being chewed up, my current Nokian ones have lasted me almost a decade now. rarely do i need 4x4
my old 4x2 Nissan KingCab i had all-seasons, got stuck good a few times
>pay to have them mounted and demounted every semester.
Why can't you do it for free?
Do you have a tool to mount the tire on the rim?
3 machines at work and numerous other friends at shops I could use or they'd do it for me.
OOOOORRRRRR if you're on the wrong board here
