All Season.  The Winter is no longer available in 14", so far as I could
find out.  It is not listed in that size on the Vredestein web site any
longer.  But my understanding of the Comtrac is that it is as good as most
winter tires for the purpose, and it does carry the mountain/snowflake ikon
on the side wall, so will meet mountain driving condition legal
requirements.
