Will they be ok in the heat of the German summer ?

The Rav4 is UK based. My company supplies cars when I am Germany.

I have no idea about lose of grip in the warmer months. Which is why I was asking here. I need a good winter/snow tyre and was hoping to find one with all year round performance rather than having to change tyres seasonally. I timed it perfectally so that I was in the UK and in rural Aberdeenshire right when the snow came and the manufacturers supplied tyres were next to usless. Whereas the Mich Lat Cross tyres I had on my Merc ML were excellent. Unfortunately I couldn't find those in 235 55 18 or they would be on my RAV4 as they are also good dry and warm weather tyres.

Continental ContiCrossContact Winter - I had a set which I sold with my RAV.

Continental says you can run them through summer with no significant loss of performance. No idea what they are like in summer though, only ran them in winter.
