So why is it that we change our car tires for winter and summer? Someone told me the winter tires have a sturdier profile so you don’t slide as easy in snow but why can’t we just leave them on during summer as well? Why different tires for different seasons?

Winter tires have better traction in cold temperatures, as well as wet/snowy/icy conditions.
Summer tires have better traction in warmer weather, tend to be a smoother ride which also translates to (marginally) better mileage/
All-season tires are a balance between the two.
Can you leave winter tires on all year? Yes, but they’ll be a less comfortable+efficient ride and have worse traction.
