Summer tires

Summer tires are specially optimized to deliver the best performance in warm temperatures. Their harder rubber compound remains stable even in high heat, ensuring excellent grip on dry roads and shorter braking distances. Thanks to a tread pattern designed to effectively disperse water, they also guarantee good safety in wet conditions. These tires are therefore ideal for comfortable and precise driving during the warmer months, but they lose their effectiveness as soon as temperatures drop significantly.

Winter tires

Winter tires are designed to cope with the harsh conditions of the cold season. Their softer rubber compound remains flexible even when the temperature drops below 7°C, significantly improving traction on cold, snowy, or icy roads. Their more lamellated tread pattern “bites” into snow and ice, providing better traction and increased safety. To be considered true winter tires, they must bear the snowflake symbol surrounded by three mountain peaks (3PMSF), or the older M+S marking, although the latter is less specific.

All-season tires

All-season tires, also known as four-season tires, are a practical compromise between summer and winter tires. They are suitable for drivers living in regions with moderate climates, where winters are not too harsh. Their hybrid design allows you to drive safely in both warm and cold weather, without having to change tires twice a year. Although they do not offer the maximum performance of a summer tire in summer or that of a winter tire in extreme conditions, they are an economical and comfortable solution for versatile use throughout the year.
