Summer vs all-season tires in Amman

Jordan's summers are long, hot and dry; its winters are short but can bring rain, and sometimes ice in Amman and the north. That makes the choice simpler than in Europe — but not the same for every driver.

Summer vs all-season tires in Amman — Abu Al-Ragheb Tires, Amman

Summer tires

  • Best grip and braking on hot, dry roads
  • Sharper steering — the choice for sports and executive cars
  • Weaker on cold, icy roads; rubber hardens in near-freezing temperatures

All-season tires

  • Good, balanced grip across Jordan's whole year
  • Usually quieter and longer-lasting
  • The practical choice for most family cars and SUVs
  • Not a true winter tire — on real snow and ice, slow down or stay home

How to decide

  • You drive a sports or high-performance car → summer tires
  • You drive a family car or SUV in Amman → all-season
  • You live in the highlands and drive early on winter mornings → all-season, and ask us about winter grip between December and February
  • Your 4x4 leaves the asphalt → all-terrain instead of either

Common questions

Can I mix summer and all-season tires?

Avoid it. Fit the same type on all four, or at least on the same axle.

Do all-season tires wear faster in Jordan's heat?

A quality all-season tire is built for heat as well. Correct pressure is what protects tread life in summer.
