high-efficiency tyres have less rolling resistance and as a result are usually made of a harder rubber. as a result they also have less grip but this is fine if you adjust your speeds to match the conditions appropriately. some of them have additives in the rubber to try and get some of the lost grip back.

Distiction: Winter tires are made of a softer rubber compound, to be more flexible in winter termperatures. These softer winter tires wear very rapidly in summer temperatures, and experience a drive may have if they fail to change out their winter tires to the summer seasonal tires.
