Summer tire compounds are a lot harder that the winter tire so that they can handle the heat of the road in the summer. That is why winter tires burn off faster in the summer they are a soft tire for winter traction. All season tires are also a softer compound hence the shorter life span. They need to be a little softer to have some traction in the colder winter months.
