Question:

Soft vs hard compound tyres?

What is the difference between soft and hard tyres?

Answer:

a lot depends on what your looking for soft tires less mileage but better grip wet or dry harder tire more miileage i prefer a hard tire
I do not know anything about mood tires. M+S means "MUD and snow". Most all season radials are marked M+S and can be used year-round. Tires that are usable only in the summer may last longer, because of the harder rubber, but it might not be worth the time that it takes to change the tires twice a year.
Hard Compound Tires
A softer tire will grip better, but wear faster. A hard tire will have less grip, but last longer. Some newer tires have a hard compound in the middle sipes and a soft compound for the outer shoulder blocks since the outer parts of the tire grip more in turns. There's no tire that lasts a long time, is sporty and great in all weather. Also, weather is a factor. Many tires are meant for summer and are usually soft tires, but snow tires are also pretty soft. The different temperature tires are basically useless outside of their temp range. A winter tire will wear quickly in the summer and a summer tire will have no grip in cold weather. Tires are pretty advanced and there are a lot of variables beyond hard and soft.
