What these tire specs mean

  • Load Index 92 is the tire’s standardized carrying capacity, supporting up to 630 kg per tire. Use it to confirm the tire meets or exceeds the load rating listed on your vehicle placard.
  • Speed Rating T indicates the tire’s maximum sustained speed capability under proper load and inflation. This is approximately 190 km/h under proper load and inflation.
  • Winter tires are built for cold weather traction and carry 3PMS for severe snow service.

  • Studdable means the tire can accept studs where legally permitted. Ontario generally restricts stud use, while Quebec permits studs seasonally.
  • 3PMS is the Three Peak Mountain Snowflake symbol, confirming the tire meets recognized severe snow traction performance standards.
