What these tire specs mean

  • Load Index 93 is the tire’s standardized carrying capacity, supporting up to 650 kg per tire. Use it to confirm the tire meets or exceeds the load rating listed on your vehicle placard.

  • Winter tires are built for cold weather traction and carry 3PMS for severe snow service.
