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?

Rubber gets harder when its colder. Harder they are, the less traction they provide. To a point, you don’t want them too squishy either. Summers are made of a firmer rubber to stay firm enough in the 30 C summer, but they get too hard below 5 C, so we put winters on which are softer compared to summers but in 5C or less, stay soft enough.
