March has arrived and spring will follow soon. As
the season changes, the demands on your tires are quite different. It is notunusual in some parts of the country to have a set of summer tires and a
separate set of winter tires.
Why is that? In dry hot weather, tires made from
softer compounds are what give it grip and stickiness on the road. However, in
very cold weather these compounds harden and lose their sticking properties.
Changing tires is like changing clothes based on season. You wouldn’t wear your summer clothes on a winters day and thinkeverything was OK. With that in mind is it possible to have an all-season tire?
Yes, there is no shortage of tires marketed as
all-season. Yet, within the car industry, they are sometimes referred to as
‘no-season.’ Simply because they don’t seem to be that useful in any season.
However, the Michelin CrossClimate claims to be a
hybrid tire. That is a tire suitable for most seasons and conditions except
snowfall that would need a dedicated winter tire.
So what’s the deal? Check out this comprehensive
review.

tires
