I think it keeps them from becoming a news story like Firestone has. All
weather tires have softer compounds and have trouble getting rid of
heat. It doesn't matter in snow or rain, but at speed on dry pavement it
is rather important.

One of the absurd things about the S4 and A6 2.7T, is that they mount speed
rated tires on them that are worhtless in the snow. You'd think a car with AWD
would come with good All Seasons. The target market for these cars cettainly
does, and are not pleased to find that a car that's touted to run SUV's
off the
road in snow needs an extra set of tires in the garage to do it.
