It is entirely possible to drive with winter tires in summer. Winter tires are made of a significantly softer rubber compound than summer tires.

At high temperatures they wear out much more quickly than at cold temperatures. This means the prescribed tread depth is reached more quickly and you have to buy new tires. All-season tires (also known as all-weather tires) could be an alternative. However, this type of tire is not suitable for all requirements. Especially in areas with a high risk of snow, winter tires are a much better choice for safety reasons under appropriate conditions. For those who want to save themselves the expense of changing tires every six months, all- seasonal tires are not suitable.
