Here is what I have learned about All-Weather tires: They are supposed to be used for people who live in areas that usually have green grass on their lawns MOST of the winter, and only occasionally get some snowfall on the roads. If you live in an area where your grass is covered with snow during the winter months then All-Weather tires are not for you and you need to get Winter tires instead. Vancouver usually has green grass in the winter, so All-weather tires are perfect for Vancouver.
nice test! i just put on a set of nordman solstice all weather tires on my suv, i will see how well they do in the upcoming winter, your matrix did very well considering the road conditions
@@thomasnetworld They have performed okay, I put them on my 2006 Suzuki Grand Vitara, which is in fulltime 4WD, previously I had the original all season tires on it; I must say that I completely agree with Canadian 123's comment below, I should put on dedicated winter tires, however, I only want one set of tires, with that said, these tires are poor on ice, good in snow, they seem a bit loud on the pavement, especially when cold, however, you can't beat the price on these all weather tires; over all I am okay happy with them.
Ur car did pretty well , had u had awd i imagine id be alot better.. Also studs on dedicated winter is not a fair comparison to all weather tires. Id say all weather is a good all round tire like grade b for every condition while a snow tire with studs is a a+ for snow /ice and a f for just about every other type of weather.

I agree completely.

Im getting all weathers put on my car but will keep a cheap set of snow chains in the suv just in case
Thank you! Yes, absolutely. I think these all weather tires are sufficient for most of Vancouverites who drive around the city.
