Not quite! While all-season tires are best suited for three seasons—spring, summer, and fall. They may struggle in harsh winter conditions like snow and ice. All-weather tires, on the other hand, are built to handle both summer heat and winter snow, offering reliable traction in winter while performing well in warmer temperatures.
