The ideal equilibrium between the degree of grip on asphalt and wet roads, even on ice, the rubber is less trustworthy than other materials. I enjoy having decent handling both on the flat road and on snow that has melted and become mushy. Amazingly good manoeuvrability on the circuit, with a precise rebuild, the rubber behaving honorably, and the tires reacting fast to steering adjustments. The noise level is usually rather low, and the all-seasons provide excellent damping of the irregularities in the road. Provides adequate traction on ice, albeit not in a very firm manner. Rubber with a high resistance to wear.
