What these tire specs mean

  • Summer tires are built for warm weather grip and should not be used as winter tires in Ontario or Quebec cold weather conditions.
  • Run flat tires can temporarily support the vehicle after pressure loss, allowing you to keep control and drive a limited distance to service. Note that they require a compatible vehicle setup and a working TPMS system.
  • EV Compatible means the tire is marked as suitable for electric vehicles, where load, torque, rolling resistance, and noise can matter more.
  • Vehicle Type helps identify whether the tire is intended for passenger, light truck, commercial, or similar service categories.
