Well, it's listed as a summer tire. I would have preferred an all season tire, but never a directional tire. And unfortunately, tire choices are fairly limited in 205/50/15, as there's no production vehicle that uses that size AND a 15 inch wheel is now considered to be a very small size.
We've been getting an abnormally high amount of rainfall this year though, for Texas, and these tires haven't given me any reason to doubt my traction yet. I'm just curious if the soft tire compound will last more than a year though.
