What does the "M+S" marking mean? It stands for "Mud + Snow" but this is only a declaration from the manufacturer that the product operates in Mud and Snow better than regular sizes."M+S" is marked on all winter tyres, but not all tyres with "M+S" marking have winter properties.

All winter sizes have "M+S" marking, but not all tires with "M+S" are winter tyres.

What does the "3PMSF" marking mean?3PMSF marking has been introduced (Three Peak Mountain Snow Flake) which is an easily recognisable snowflake symbol with three peaks in the background. This is the only marked element that confirms the actual winter parameters of a tyre. The 3PMSF symbol is standardised and controlled by EU authorities, which guarantees that the product meets the conditions of rigorous testing and is suitable for operation in difficult weather conditions.

Tires with "3PMSF"marking are suitable for demanding weather conditions and retain their performance at temperatures below zero.
