A good fit if you

  • Cold weather, snow, and ice — the conditions this tire is specifically engineered for.

265/45R20 Antares Grip WP – 3PMS Winter

Carries the 3PMSF symbol — tested and rated for severe snow service.

What these tire specs mean

  • Load index 108 means each tire can carry up to 1000 kg. Check your door jamb placard — the tire needs to meet or beat the load rating your manufacturer specifies.
  • Speed rating T is the maximum sustained speed this tire is designed to handle under proper conditions. That works out to 190 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.

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.
