According to the companies who make tires, the compounds used to make summer tires are better at gripping the road and stand up better to hot weather driving.  The tread design is different, it's intended to make your car or light truck handle better.  Winter tires have a tread pattern designed to give better traction in snowy conditions, and the compounds used to make the tire are better for cold weather driving.
