A good fit if you

245/60R18 Toyo Observe Gsi 6 LS Winter
Carries the 3PMSF symbol — tested and rated for severe snow service.
What these tire specs mean
- Load index 105 means each tire can carry up to 925 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.
- 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 245/60R18 Toyo Observe Gsi 6 LS is a winter tire, built around a 245 mm section width for a 18-inch wheel.

About the 245/60R18 tire size

- R18 — radial construction, for a 18-inch wheel
The 245/60R18 size is commonly found on mid size SUVs, crossovers, and sport sedans. 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 245/60R18 Toyo Observe Gsi 6 LS is a Winter tire with the 3PMSF symbol, so it qualifies for Quebec’s winter mandate.
