      All weather tires suck in all weather.

      Sure they’re better than winter tires in summer, and summer tires in winter (if barely in both cases), but in reality they just suck.

        Disagree, strongly. Modern high performance all seasons fucking rip. Michelin Pilot Sport A/S or Continental Extreme Contact are very good tires. They’re not as good as dedicated summer/winter tires but they’re very far from sucking. If you don’t deal with snow (inches of accumulation) then good all seasons are more than adequate.

          This is pretty spot on. And in order to get the summer tire rated performance, you’ll need to have the tire properly warmed up. You get close to advertised with UHP All seasons from cold or hot and everything in between. Once it gets below freezing it’s not such a high performing category, but unless you’re dealing with ice and snowfall it’ll outperform winter tires on asphalt or any paved surface really. Not to mention they’ll generally wear much better and be way quieter.

          Don’t forget the Michelin CrossClimate 2 too!

      There are all weather’s that a great in all conditions but none of those have low roll resistance or great on a performance car.

      It depends on your use. Until these two cars I rocked great all weather’s that were fantastic for those cars. But my Corvette doesn’t get so weather’s and my wife’s Ioniq 5 loses a ton of range with winter tires but needs winter tires in the winter.

      Depends on the tire and the winter.

      Places where winters are icy and long (NorthEast Coast/Mid-Atlantic, Great Lakes, etc), you want proper winter tires if you do any regular driving.

      If you live somewhere winter has snow, but isn’t icy (plains, the non-mountain areas of WY, CO) you can get by on Winter-rated All-season tires, especially if you’re in a city where speeds are lower and roads are kept well-cleared.

      It all depends on the usual conditions and where/when you drive. I work from home when it snows because it would waste a lot of time to drive in the snow. We only get a little at a time, and it clears quickly, so it’s not worth having full winter-only tires, winter-rated all-season are fine.
