Interesting comments; If this is true then how do they get away with it when they sell/market the ALL SEASONS tires? are they made of different rubber compounds? or the whole issue revolves around* the tread design of tires. i.e. grooves, smooth, rough, water channels etc etc.

Often times the compound is different. All of the time the tread is different. I guess it's a little bit of both. But high performance summer tires - Any tire in that category is even "unsafe" to drive in *rain*. There really is a HUGE difference between all seasons and summer tires. It's pretty scary to think about all the people that drive around on tires not made for the weather they are in, not understanding how huge of a factor it is at winter time.
