Winter tyres are optimized so that they can remain flexible during the temperature drop for added safety. These tyres are needed in Europe, not so much in Ausralia
Yet another seasonal tyre type. Summer tyres are also known as the standard tyres and offer a high level of performance. They can cope with the higher road temperatures.
All season tyres use a combination of winter and summer tyres technology. Their performance is adequate for use in all types of seasons. But they're not explicitly optimized for summer or winter as the dedicated counterparts are.
