      <abstract>
        <p>The article informs about the current development of raw materials needed for the production of tires, while its main goal is to acquaint and warn readers about the inappropriate choice of preference for all -season tires. The choice of all-season tires and their preference over standard footwear is often chosen by car users, mainly because of financial savings. At present, this type of footwear can be chosen by other drivers due to the current shortage of raw materials for tire production. Therefore, the intention of the a uthor of the article is to emphasize the controversy of preferring all-season tires in general, to specify their pros and cons with a focus on their reliability and safety.</p>
