No.

First, you should be aware that there are two different types of tires that can be used in winter: all-weather tires and winter tires. 

 

How do you recognize them?

Both carry the 3PMS symbol.

 

Factors to keep in mind when considering buying all-weather tires?

All-weather vs winter tires? 

1. Do I prefer to remain indoors when the weather is bad outside?

2. Do I drive on icy roads on a regular basis?

3. Do I face a significant snow accumulation?

4. Do I travel a large number of km per day?

5. Does the temperature usually go below 7 degrees.

 

Why not?

Because the tire is merely a compromise between winter and summer tires by having a stiffer rubber compound compared to a winter tire and is less adaptable to major climate changes.
