[ "All-weather tyres vs All-season tyres: What test results showAll-weather tyres;are specificvariation of all-season tyres designed to survive in harsh winter conditions.They can be a middle ground option for people who do not want to keep switchingto snow/winter tyres every year at the beginning of the snow season andchanging it back again in the spring.Based on snow-traction tests conducted by Consumer Reports of 64different models of car tyres, it was found that the best all-weather tyres arematching the;All season Banden Utrecht;tyres in mild weatherand were able to generate traction in severe ice and snow during winter. Treadlife tests conducted to measure wear over 16000 miles led to the conclusionthat the all-weather tyres are expected to have 50,000 miles or more lifetime, which is more than what a typical winter/snow tyre gets you.The tread life directly impacts the operating costs, as a longer treadlife reduces the cost per mile, especially if you also consider the costs forchanging tyres, including the purchase, balancing, mounting, and recycling.For this test, the following 5 all-weather tyre models were tested usingToyota Camrys using a common tyre size 215/55R17: Goodyear AssuranceWeatherReady, Nokian WRG4, Vredestein Quatrac 5, Michelin CrossClimate +, andToyo Celsius. Among these tyres, there was a big gap between the top and bottomperforming all-weather tyre.Compared to the regular all-season tyres, Performance all-season tyresare definitely a step up, placing more importance on handling, at the cost of ashorter tread life. These tyres have a V speed rating, signalling their road-holding capabilities. It indicates a max speed rating of 149 mph. These tyresare able to manage the heat buildup generated during high-speed driving muchbetter than compared to those tyres with lower speed ratings. In a way, theyguarantee a fine-tuned road grip for an enthusiastic driving year-round.All-weather tyres can be essentially thought of as an amalgamation ofthe capabilities of performance all-season tyres with added winter drivingtoolkit. As such, they can be used year-long without changing. They usuallycome with a three-peak mountain and snowflake symbol, signifying that it meetsindustry standards for traction in the snow.Tyre Speed RatingsEvery tyre comes with a letter that pertains to the max speed limitrating. Standard all-season tyres are usually rated either S (up to 112 mph) orT (118 mph), whereas higher speeds are identified as letters H (130 mph), V(149 mph), W (168 mph), Y (186 mph), and ZR (149+ mph) respectively. It isalways recommended to use the tyres mentioned in the owners manual or thatinscribed on the drivers side door.Difference Between Winter and All-Season TyresWinter or snow tyres are designed to withstand long drawn winterconditions, including ice, slush, and snow. The tread components of winter tyresare more flexible and stay softer in cold weather, thereby improving traction,control, and handling under sub ~45 F weather. With its jagged, wide, and deeptread edges biting into the surfaces, it is able to maintain traction inharshest weather.On the other hand, All-season;goedkope banden Utrecht;tyresfocus on a quite and smooth drive in most conditions (including in mild snow)and are great on bare pavement and in the rain. All-season tyres are nottailored to work with deep snow, ice, and cold weather when temperatures dipbelow 45 F.Snow Traction abilityIn terms of traction in the snow and ice braking, All-weather tyresperform just below winter tyres and beat both regular and performanceall-season tyres. But they do have an advantage in wet braking, dry braking,tread life, and handling." ]
