When most people think about tires, they think about how long they’ll last. And most drivers reach for all-season tires. Makes sense, right? “All season” sounds like they’re built for it all.
But the real key to safety + performance? Temperature.
Once temps drop below 45°F (7°C), your all-season tires start to lose flexibility. That means less grip and longer stops — even on dry pavement.
The 45 Degree Difference
All-Season Tires: Below 45°F, all-season tires tend to become much less flexible, compromising traction and braking effectiveness, even on dry pavement.
Winter Tires: Use a unique, soft compound that stays flexible below 45°F, maintaining superior grip and control in the cold.
