All Season or All Terrain Tires  - What's the Difference?

All-season tires are designed to provide acceptable all-around capability throughout the year

All-Season & All-Terrain Tread and Construction Comparison

We look at the differences between All Terrain tires and All Season tires in this video. 
If you drive a coupe or sedan-style passenger car, or an SUV, you likely need an all-season tire. But if you drive a truck or a more rugged SUV — particularly an SUV with 4-wheel-drive - an all-terrain tire might be a good choice.

All season tires are best suited for road conditions most drivers face throughout the year, while all terrain tires are more specialized in suited to vehicles that spend at least some time in the dirt, mud, gravel or snow.

An all-season tire, by comparison, typically has shallow grooves with tight gaps. These do a good job of pushing away water when it’s raining, allowing the rubber to grip the road. All tires will lose grip if grooves fill up with mud and snow but All-Terrain tires tend to clean themselves out better and quicker than All season tires. 

All-terrain tires have the advantage off-road but All Seasons do better on highways, making them more fuel-efficient than the rugged All Terrains. 

All-terrain tires also have stronger, thicker sidewalls that flex on rough, uneven roads. Some are reinforced with a stronger material for increased resistance to punctures.
