A good fit if you

  • Cold weather, snow, and ice — the conditions this tire is specifically engineered for.
  • Drivers who want the best cold-weather performance and won’t compromise with all-seasons.

Think twice if you need

  • Summer use — winter compound softens too much in heat, wearing faster and handling worse.

LT265/70R18 Bridgestone Blizzak LT – 3PMS Winter

Carries the 3PMSF symbol — tested and rated for severe snow service.

What these tire specs mean

  • Load index 124 means each tire can carry up to 1600 kg. Check your door jamb placard — the tire needs to meet or beat the load rating your manufacturer specifies.
  • Speed rating R is the maximum sustained speed this tire is designed to handle under proper conditions. That works out to 170 km/h under correct load and inflation — not a target, just the rated ceiling.
  • UTQG 520 B B is a manufacturer-assigned grade for treadwear, traction, and temperature performance. Useful for comparing within the same brand — but it’s not a mileage guarantee, and ratings aren’t standardized across manufacturers.
  • Winter tires use a softer compound that stays pliable in cold temperatures, where all-season rubber starts to harden. They carry the 3PMS symbol and meet Quebec’s winter tire mandate.
  • 3PMS stands for Three Peak Mountain Snowflake — a symbol earned by meeting specific severe snow traction standards in testing. It is the mark Quebec requires for winter tire compliance.
  • Vehicle type indicates the service category this tire is built for — passenger car, light truck, commercial, or other. Matching the right category matters for load capacity, handling, and safety.
