All-season and all-weather tyres
One set, all year, where winters drop below 7 °C.
Siped treads and a compound that stays soft in the cold. The best modern all-weather tyres carry the three-peak mountain snowflake (3PMSF) mark and are genuinely usable in light snow, at the cost of some summer dry grip and steering precision.

Do you need all-season tyres in Australia?
Most of Australia doesn't: summer tyres work well above about 7 °C. All-weather tyres make sense in Canberra, Tasmania, the high country and anywhere winter mornings are regularly near freezing, or if you drive to the snow and want one set of tyres all year.
