“It’s about safety, stopping and traction,” says Majernick. “3PMS rated tires are moderately better than all seasons, but dedicated winter tires are by far the safest.” It has a lot to do with tire compounds; all-season tires have to be hard enough not to wear away in our hot summers which makes them too rigid for good traction at temperatures below 7Winter tires are softer than all-seasons, enabling far better traction as they adapt to ice and snow.
This can work if you are able to pick and choose when you drive. Ideally, the safest place for your car in a storm is at home. But many don’t have that luxury or can’t wait for cleared streets, and frankly, there’s nothing scarier than watching someone on all-seasons spin out and come right at you.
