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?

One difference is how soft the rubber is – winter tires are slightly softer, allowing them to grip a bit better when cold. You could use them in the heat of the summer, but you’d wear them out much more quickly.
Winter tires often make more road noise as well, and it’s a bit of a pain to listen to if you don’t need them.
