All-season tyres: 16 models reviewed in 2024

All-season tyres (or 4-season tyres) are becoming increasingly popular due to their practical properties. However, it is important to understand that this type of tyre is a compromise.

In winter, they perform less well than a real winter tyre and in summer they perform less well than a summer tyre. However, all-season tyres are an alternative for drivers who can do without their car when driving conditions become difficult. Their main advantage is that you don’t have to change them depending on the season and you don’t have to store winter or summer wheels. Furthermore, in Luxembourg, all-season tyres marked ‘M&S’ are legally considered winter tyres. We explain everything you need to know about tyres in our brochures (in French).
