Default Difference in tire types

what is the main difference between "max performance summer" vs. "all season tires" in general. I live in florida so not sure if I need to worry about all seasons, although summer in florida really means a lot more rain.

max summer generally means shitty in the rain

all season is generally hard tires that have tons of sipes and gaps to help with snow traction



the rule of thumb is buy the best tires for the worst weather you encounter



for example

if you drive in the snow a lot, dont buy a summer tire
