All season tires
All season tires are designed to provide an adequate measure of traction, handling and braking performance in year-round driving including snowy and icy road conditions. However all season tires do not offer as much traction performance as winter (snow) tires in heavy or loose snow or on icy roads.
All season tires are identified by “ALL SEASON” and/or “M+S” (Mud & Snow) on the tire sidewall.
