185/65R15 General Altimax Arctic 12 – 3PMS Studdable Winter
Category: Winter – Studdable
The General Altimax Arctic 12 studdable passenger tire is designed for the highest cold weather demands. It has Excellent traction on ice and snow covered roads with increase braking capability and a quite smooth ride. The Altimax Arctic 12 has a special stud design to improve lateral grip and optimized block edges with straight sipes in the center to remove the excess snow and ice debris efficiently.
Carries the 3PMSF symbol — tested and rated for severe snow service. Can be studded where local regulations allow.
What these tire specs mean
- Load index 92 means each tire can carry up to 630 kg. Check your door jamb placard — the tire needs to meet or beat the load rating your manufacturer specifies.
- Speed rating T is the maximum sustained speed this tire is designed to handle under proper conditions. That works out to 190 km/h under correct load and inflation — not a target, just the rated ceiling.
- 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.
- XL means Extra Load. These tires run at higher inflation pressures and handle more weight than a standard-load tire of the same size. If your vehicle’s factory spec calls for XL, that’s what you need — swapping to standard load can affect ride, handling, and safety.
- Studdable means the tire has pre-formed stud holes and can accept metal studs where permitted. Ontario bans studs on most public roads. Quebec allows them seasonally — typically October 15 to May 1. Check current provincial rules before installation.
- 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.
