Lots of different terms are thrown around when researching tires, but two common ones are performance and all-season. Essentially, a performance tire is about providing a driver with a better handling experience on the road, while the all-season tire’s better tread helps your car manoeuvre a variety of weather conditions. For me, a driver who’s never once driven in sport mode, all-seasons are my jam and these from Michelin are an excellent option. This long-lasting high performance tire is well designed for superb wet and dry braking. Although, who are we kidding, anything in the Michelin tire family is a safe bet for your car.

I have family on the west coast where warm, dry weather in the summer months isn’t a guarantee. For them, an all-weather tire is a better fit. Unlike the all-seasons, all-weather tires have a more aggressive tread allowing them to perform very well in both winter and summer months. This one from Pirelli is made for light trucks, SUVs and crossover vehicles. These WeatherActive tires offer drivers added confidence on the road regardless of the weather. A passenger car driver? Check out the all-season Pirelli Cinturato which also features their proprietary WeatherActive technology.
