• If you come from a place that experiences severe
  changes of seasons, you need to make sure that
  your vehicle have two sets of tires for winter
  and summer. Alternatively, you can purchase
  all-season tires that are meant to be used
  year-round. Most cars come equipped with
  all-season tires, so you may not need to buy new
  ones after all. They are usually indicated by the
  MS markings on the sidewalls which stand for mud
  and snow. They should not be confused with
  all-weather tires that are also meant to be used
  throughout the year.

• Even though the all-season tires are not designed
  to be best in a specific weather condition, they
  can be so great if you come from a place that
  experiences moderate weather conditions
  throughout the year. The MS symbol that they
  feature means that they are approved for use in
  mud and snow. They will provide traction on dry
  roads and light snow. However, when the weather
  becomes extremely cold such that ice forms on the
  road, driving with all-season tires will not be
  such a good idea. In that case, you will be
  better off with dedicated winter tires.

• The name all-season does not mean that these
  tires can provide great performance in all four
  seasons of the year. Instead, it means that these
  tires are a compromise. When they were being
  designed, wet grip was traded in order to gain
  some mobility on snow packed roads. They can give
  you adequate performance throughout the year and
  save you the trouble of changing to winter and
  summer tires every now and then. Once you install
  them on your vehicle, you will not need to remove
  them until they wear out or get a puncture.

• You need to understand that the mobility and grip
  that all-season tires are designed to provide in
  snow is not the same as what dedicated winter
  tires can provide. The all-season tires have less
  damp road traction compared to a dedicated winter
  tire. So if you want to drive safely and
  comfortably on challenging winter roads, winter
  tires will be required if you want to have good
  grip and control of your vehicle. If you come
  from a place where it never snows, then you can
  survive with the all-season tires all year-round.
