Wait, there is a difference between All Weather and All Season Tires? I always thought they where the same
All-Season is the typical one you are thinking of.
All-Weather is winter rated that you can run all year, it meets the requirements for winter rating (that little snowflake in a mountain). There's only a couple lines.
They made a marketing mistake having a name so similar to all season. They should have named it something else.
No no, you have to choose; tires for one type of weather but for every season, or tires for one specific season but all types of weather. /s
IMO there's no such thing as all season tires (unless you live in a place where seasons don't affect driving conditions much), only slightly-terrible-all-year tires.
It really depends on where you live.
I've used winter-rated all-season tires that are incredible in icy conditions - Nokian.
