I saw a show (Market Place) comparing "winter" tires to "all season".
Apparently there is no such thing as an "all season" tire. The winter
tires are to be used in a certain temperature range. I think they said
below 50 degrees Fahrenheit. You can use them above 50 degrees, but
they wear out real fast. Winter tires are a softer rubber. I think you
would get good traction with winter tires in the rain. Just keep an
extra set of tires and look out in the morning and if its raining put
the winter tires on. That's what I do. Some provinces require by law
that cars use winter tires in certain months of the year because the
traction is significantly better. I hope that helps.
