All Season Tires in Bath, ON

All Season Tires

In 1977, the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company brought the first all-season tire to market and changed the game for drivers around the world.

Just over a decade later, John’s Auto Service brought the same all-season tire technology to Bath, ON, and we have been helping drivers take advantage ever since.

What Are All-Season Tires?

Although the precise design, performance characteristics, and features vary from one manufacturer to the next, every set of all-season tires is designed for balanced performance in a variety of conditions above 7°C.

Most all-season tires feature somesiping, or slits across the tread surface, which increase traction on wet or slushy roads, and their unique tread patterns offer a good mix of durability, ride comfort, and wet and dry performance.

Why Choose All-Season Tires for Your Vehicle?

Some of the benefits of choosing all-season tires for your vehicle include:

All-season tire performance and peace of mind—All-season tires cannot compete with specialty sets in their intended climates, but they do provide reasonable traction, responsiveness and stopping power in a variety of weather conditions. Whether the roads are slick with rain, caked in mud, or dusted with snow, you will enjoy great performance and peace of mind.
Cost control—By driving on a single set of all-season tires for the entire year, you eliminate the need for changeover services, storage, and a second set of specialty tires.
Long tread life—All-season tires boast the best tread life warranties in the entire tire industry, with many exceeding 100,000km of driving.
Personalization—All-season tires come in all different designs, sizes, speed ratings, and styles, so you will have no problem fulfilling your feature wish list, whether you want something fuel-efficient, puncture-resistant, or an all-season performance tire to shave seconds off your track times.

Are All-Season Tires Suitable for Winter Driving in Bath, ON?

Most all-season tires carry the Mud and Snow (M+S) designation, which makes them suitable for light snow, but not severe winter weather. The rubber compounds used in all-season tires also tend to stiffen in freezing temperatures, unlike dedicated snow tires, which are specially formulated to stay soft, pliable, and grippy. Accordingly, all-season tires are sometimes called three-season tires, since they are primarily meant for the spring, summer, and fall months.

That said, one-quarter (24%) of Canadian drivers opt for all-seasons year-round, according to the Tire and Rubber Association of Canada’s 2021 Winter Tire Report. If you live somewhere with light snowfall and moderate temperatures through the winters, all-seasons might be suitable; if not, consider all-weather tires or switch to a dedicated winter set until temperatures rise above 7°C.
