Man tries all-season tires for an entire year and is left shocked at the difference they make

Driving comes with many factors to consider, alongside just getting behind the wheel, with one significant element proving to be tires.

There are many options to choose from, with seasons playing a pivotal role in which ones will keep you safe.

Now, after testing out some all-season rubber treads for an entire year, one YouTuber shared his results.

In fact, he put three types of tires to the test in real time to show the difference in icy weather conditions.

‘Tis the season to test tires out that Christmas is over

Picking out the correct type of tires can be a challenge.

From summer rubber to winter, and even all-season tires, there are many options that can feel overwhelming.

Don’t spiral just yet, though, as Conquer Driving shared how three types of tires perform in snowy and icy conditions, before ultimately revealing his true feelings about all-season tires after a 12-month test, but more on that later.

The creator started off showing how summer touring tires coped on a super steep hill, across the pond in England.

As you’d expect, they were slippery and didn’t prove to be the safest option thanks to their properties catering more towards drier, summer roads.

“Not ideal, just about manageable with a run-up,” explained the driver.

Next, the creator showed all-season tires in action, and it was clear to see that they were a better option, even though he tested them on a Toyota Corolla, which was heavier than the previous Seat car with summer tires.

The hybrid, front-wheel-drive system did make it a little bit easier, and it didn’t skid or make him feel any loss of control.

Finally, the creator shared how a Porsche Cayman, with the ultra-ultra high-performance rubber option, coped on the road.

We should note that it had a slight advantage of a limited-slip differential, which means that both wheels would spin if the road became slippery.

“I’m struggling to actually stay stationary, let alone go up the hill,” he explained, as the rubber proved to be an unsafe option on the ice, despite mechanical advantages.

After trying the all-season option, his thoughts were clear

The results were in, and Conquer Driving revealed that the all-season choice was the best in the game.

He explained that he even thinks they should be the default tire on everyday cars to make up for the UK’s climate.

They do, however, have some disadvantages, including wet stopping distance and the steering not feeling quite as sharp, but as technology evolves, the distance is decreasing, and the tires are lasting longer.

It is important to note, too, that with his tests in the snow, even though the Corolla should have been the most challenging, the tires more than made up for the open differential difference.

One year after using his all-season system, the creator concluded that he was more than happy with his choice.
