A good fit if you
- Cold weather, snow, and ice — the conditions this tire is specifically engineered for.

Think twice if you need
- Summer use — winter compound softens too much in heat, wearing faster and handling worse.

165/65R14 Kumho WI31 Winter
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 79 means each tire can carry up to 437 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.
- 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.
Where this tire fits in
The 165/65R14 Kumho WI31 is a winter tire, built around a 165 mm section width for a 14-inch wheel.
In practical terms, this size gives you a 65-series sidewall of about 107 mm paired with a 14-inch wheel diameter — confirm this against your current tire’s sidewall marking before ordering.
Worth noting on the spec side: this tire carries 3PMS certification for severe snow service, a studdable design where permitted, load index 79 and speed rating T (~190 km/h).
About the 165/65R14 tire size
The 165/65R14 breaks down into three numbers:

- 65 — sidewall height as a percentage of the tread width (roughly 107 mm of rubber between road and rim)
- R14 — radial construction, for a 14-inch wheel
The 165/65R14 size is commonly found on compact and economy cars. Replacing a set? The full size marking is on your current tire’s sidewall — confirm width, profile, and rim diameter all match before you order.

Ontario & Quebec — winter tire rules
In Quebec, winter tires are mandatory on all passenger vehicles from December 1 to March 15 — it’s the law under the Highway Safety Code, not a suggestion. In Ontario, they’re strongly recommended through the cold months, and most insurance providers give you a premium discount when you run them. The 165/65R14 Kumho WI31 is a Winter tire with the 3PMSF symbol, so it qualifies for Quebec’s winter mandate.
