Hello, For your lowland suburban driving and approximately 10,000 km a year, I would consider all-season tyres a sensible option, particularly if you can postpone journeys during severe winter weather. They remain a compromise between summer and winter performance. I would prioritise wet braking and look for the mountain-and-snowflake symbol (3PMSF), which indicates a tested minimum level of snow performance. Compare independent tests alongside the EU label; the label alone does not describe overall performance. Before choosing a model, confirm the 165/60 R14 size and required load and speed ratings against your car’s documentation. Results from larger tyre sizes should not be treated as proof of performance in yours. Please provide the Picanto’s model year and required ratings so the next step can be a shortlist for the correct specification.
