Summer vs. All-season tires

Summer tires:

Summer tires are designed for optimal performance at temperatures above 7 °C.
These tires typically use a soft rubber compound that delivers good grip and handling on both dry and
wet roads.
However, this same compound makes summer tires less suitable in winter weather conditions below 7

°C.

Choose a summer tire if:
You want to maximize your vehicle’s handling and performance during milder months
You have a set of winter tires for colder months
You experience very mild winters with temperatures remaining above 7 °C (allowing you to use
summer tires all year long)

All-season tires:
All-season tires offer a reasonable compromise between the performance of dedicated summer and
winter tires. They are a viable option for regions with moderate winter weather (light snowfall, with
temperatures rarely dropping below freezing). Sailun all-season tires meet high standards for
performance in winter conditions and bear the same ‘M+S’ and ‘Snowflake’ designations as winter tires.
This means they are acceptable for winter use where winter tires are required by law.

Choose an all-season tire if:
You live where winter temperatures don’t drop below -5 °C (if they do, you should buy winter
tires)
You want to use the same set of tires year round
You’re unable to store and fit a second set of tires
For optimal performance in winter conditions, we recommend fitting a set of dedicated winter
tires.
