Choosing a tyre to suit your car and the weather conditions can be a compromise, unless you are in the position to have a second set of wheels and tyres for the winter months. If you need a tyre for year-round use then an all-season tyre will offer additional traction and grip in wet weather, as well as better performance than a summer tyre on snow and ice. The downside is likely to be a slight increase in fuel consumption, tyre noise and less dry-weather performance than a summer tyre. An alternative could be to look for a summer tyre that has a high level of wet performance, such as the Bridgestone Turanza T001 or Pirelli Powergy.
