205/55R16 Pirelli Winter 190 SnowControl Serie 3 – 3PMS Winter
Carries the 3PMSF symbol — tested and rated for severe snow service.
What these tire specs mean
- Load index 91 means each tire can carry up to 615 kg. Check your door jamb placard — the tire needs to meet or beat the load rating your manufacturer specifies.
- Speed rating H is the maximum sustained speed this tire is designed to handle under proper conditions. That works out to 210 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.
- 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.
