Your Sidewalls Tell You If It's Safe
To Drive In Winter Conditions!

SIDEWALL - M+S (Mud & Snow)

The "M+S" indicates the tire is designed for mud and snow applications. The Mud and Snow designation may also appear as "M&S" or "M/S."

As of the 2000/2001 winter season "snow" tires sold in North America will be subject to the implementation of a mountain/snowflake pictograph on the sidewalls. This will indicate that the tire design has met performance-based criteria for use in severe snow conditions.

The present "M&S" (mud and snow) symbol will still appear on both "snow" tires and "all-season" tires but the new standard represented by the mountain/snowflake symbol will make it easier for consumers to distinguish between all-season tires and those specifically designed for use in severe winter snow conditions. Motorists will therefore have the assurance they have chosen a true snow tire.

Toyo Tire Canada strongly recommends the use of 4 winter tires for optimum safety in handling and traction.
