Keep in mind that an all-season tire handles better in summer than all-weather tires. The reason why an all-season tire is ideal for spring and summer is due to the unique tread design that allows it to have excellent handling and stability on wet and dry payment alike. If you come from a place where summers get extremely hot there is no need to worry, as all-season tires are made to handle a large range of temperatures.

Driving too fast and braking harshly causes the tires to overheat, something that in turn causes the sidewalls to weaken and potentially fail. This kind of driving can also cause small cracks to form on the tires. Always practic...
