Not all M+S rated tires provide special win-

ter performance. Make sure the tires you use
show M+S and the mountain/snow-
flake

.marking on the tire sidewall. These

tires meet specific snow traction performance
requirements of the Rubber Manufacturers As-
sociation (RMA) and the Rubber Association of
Canada (RAC) and have been designed specifi-
cally for use in snow conditions.
