Are summer tyres a meme? I was thinking of just running my winter

Winter tires wear out much faster. You will be losing money if you do that.

You sound retarded. Wonder how you look

yes that's ris

No, winter tire compounds wear out rapidly on dry roads. You'll be shedding chunks of tread. Think about Formula 1 and their wet and intermediate compounds. Great in the wet, but as the track drys out, those tires go within a few laps. Just like winter tires, they simply aren't designed to generate that much grip.

Basically, winter tires are race tires then? Extremely fast wearing soft compound that conforms exceedingly well to the road surface but burns off within a few laps. Sounds like racing tires to me. Will now drive all winter on my racing tires, taking care to use all available grip from the racing compound.

No that's not how it works, you want racing tyres just man the fuck up and buy slicks

Winter tires work because they're engineered to dig and bite at snow and slush, basically in three dimensions. They need to keep their shape as much as they can to do so. Once there's no snow for them to grip, there's no point to the tire.
Summer tires work by having a sticky compound to grip the road (a two-dimensional surface, more or less) and enough tread to expel water and prevent the car from hydroplaning in rain.

Summer tires a partial meme. There really is no true 'summer tire' as they all have to abide my minimum requirements for water displacement (wet performance). Basically, anything DOT approved is guaranteed to be complete shit.

Winter tires ideally should not be used in any environment other than snow/ice. They have deep flexible treads designed for performance in the cold. Those cavities aren't going to magically fill up during warm weather so your theory that they perform well in the summer is completely false. The contact patch is significantly smaller in winter tires.

The best thing you can do is run some snow leaning all seasons and have a back up pair of wheels with some meme summers (yokos or some shit). If you have a ton of money, just get three sets of wheels with snow, all seasons, and summer

Try running winter tires on a wet road.

>all seasons
I run all seasons and i say AS are shit

What's wrong with using winter tyres on wet roads?

You guys don't have wet roads during winter?

>>16391401
All-Seasons are complete shit, but it also depends on the car. I DD an '08 Mustang GT all year round in Chicago, and it's completely useless without full-on snow tires when it snows at all, but with them, it's really not bad at all. I just start it in second when it's bad, reminds me of an Opel Manta rally car.

what wheels

Actually winter tires have LESS grip (on a clear surface) because the contact area is smaller.

They displace the water like they're designed to do?
