M+S marking
A car tire marked with the M+S (mud and snow) symbol on the tire is suitable for poor driving conditions. An M+S tire is suitable for light snowfall and wet and muddy roads. As of December 1, 2024, the M+S marking will not be sufficient for winter tire use in Finland.
3PMSF marking (3 Peak Mountain Snow Flake)
The sidewall of all-season tires indicates that the tires can also be used in winter in countries where winter tires are mandatory. All-season tires with the 3PMSF marking are tires that can be used in different weather conditions. The tires combine the properties of winter tires and summer tires, meaning that the tires can be driven safely on dry or snowy roads.
