A common question I receive as we are changing seasons -- just because you live in a location that does not get snow does not exclude you from an all-season tire.
A general rule of thumb for someone that is looking to run a summer tire year round is will the vehicle be used when temperatures are below 40 degrees consistently. For example, on those early mornings or late nights when the temp gets into the 30s the summer tire would not perform well. Typically summer tires are more performance-oriented and have a shorter tread life. The all-season tire can handle the hottest summer climates and coldest winter climates. All-season tires can handle light snow as well however if you are in a climate that receives a modest amount of snow a winter tire will be your best option for winter traction and then the all-season or summer tire during the warmer months.
Take a look and compare some of the tread pattern differences on a popular all-season tire, summer tire and winter tire below.

All-Season Tire Summer Tire Winter Tire
The tread patterns are from the
Michelin Harmony,
Bridgestone Potenza RE-11 and
Continental ExtremeWinterContact from left to right. Check Tire Rack to view
online tire prices for the tire of your choice.

Winter / snow tires may just be one of the most economical purchases you can make. And at
Tire Rack, we do our best to keep our winter / snow tire prices affordable. Any search according to vehicle or tire size will produce a list of suitable tires, and that list can be filtered according to price, which helps you find a winter / snow tire in your price range.
But why use a winter / snow tire? To extend the life of your summer tires. And, of course, to keep you safe when the roads threaten your sense of control—because it is all about traction, confidence and control. Though we are very grateful to the many engineers who have improved our control via all-wheel drive, ABS, or traction control, it must be said they do not create traction. These systems leave that up to the tires. (

With specific tread designs and multicell rubber compounds, you'll achieve traction that's considerably better than anything you'd achieve with your summer tires. (Yes, even if they're all-season tires.) And that traction transforms into added confidence behind the wheel of a vehicle navigating ice, snow and slush. (
