With all-season tyres, defy all weather conditions

Why choose all-season tyres?

All-season tyres combine the benefits of both summer and winter tyres, making them an ideal choice for year-round driving in moderate climates. Thanks to advanced tread designs and high-quality compounds, modern all-season tyres deliver reliable grip on dry roads, rain, and even light snow.

While their summer wear rate is slightly higher than summer tyres, all-season models have seen major improvements in recent years. Today, they perform increasingly well on snow-covered and dry roads alike. For drivers who mainly drive in urban settings and don’t want the hassle of seasonal tyre changes, all-season tyres offer a practical and safe solution.

Given the UK's mild and unpredictable weather, especially during rainy winters, all-season tyres have become a popular alternative—offering a balance between safety, convenience, and cost.

Are all-season tyres reliable year-round?

Yes. Road safety organisations and tyre manufacturers agree: summer tyres are not suitable for winter driving, even if you reduce speed. Conversely, using winter tyres in summer leads to faster wear and reduced fuel economy. All-season tyres eliminate the need for switching and deliver consistent performance across seasons.

Are all all-season tyres the same?

No. Performance can vary depending on the tyre’s focus. Many modern all-season tyres are certified with the M+S symbol and the 3PMSF (Three Peak Mountain Snowflake) symbol, indicating winter capability. Some are optimised for winter handling with better cold-weather grip, while others—like the Michelin CrossClimate—offer summer-like performance without sacrificing winter safety.

Before purchasing, check user reviews and expert tyre tests that rate braking, wet grip, comfort, and wear. Whether you’re looking for premium or affordable models, Tirendo offers a wide selection of brand-name all-season tyres—from entry-level to premium. You can also take advantage of local fitting partners or explore complete wheels with all-season tyres for convenience.

Frequently Asked Questions about All-Season Tyres

What are all-season tyres?

All-season tyres are a hybrid solution that combines features of both summer and winter tyres. They are designed to perform reliably in temperatures ranging from around −10 °C to +30 °C, and are often marked with M+S and 3PMSF symbols.

Are all-season tyres legal in winter?

Yes. In the UK, there’s no legal requirement for winter tyres. All-season tyres with 3PMSF marking are suitable for driving in cold, wet, and snowy conditions.

Can I mix all-season tyres with other types?

No. Mixing tyre types (e.g. fitting all-season tyres only on the front axle) can reduce handling and braking efficiency. Always equip all four wheels with the same tyre type.

Do all-season tyres save money?

Yes. While their upfront cost may be slightly higher, all-season tyres eliminate the cost of seasonal changeovers and tyre storage, offering a cost-effective long-term solution.
