All-season tires work well in a combination of dry, wet and light-snow conditions, but, like summer/performance tires, their rubber composition hardens in cold temperatures. The answer lies in what happens to other types of tires when the temperature falls near or below freezing. Winter tires are engineered to provide better grip in winter months than all-season tires, and especially more than summer/performance tires. The difference in confidence is attributed to the type of rubber compound and tread pattern of winter-specific tires. You may want to start by asking someone who has driven with winter tires if they’ve felt more confident behind the wheel during wintery conditions.
