What does the Mountain/Snowflake symbol mean?
The Mountain/Snowflake symbol is a new designation that indicates that a tire has been approved for use in severe winter conditions. The symbol, just recently approved by the Rubber Manufacturers Association, will be phased into use over the next three years. Most of this year’s crop of snow tires don’t yet show it on the tires sidewall, but look for the symbol as you’re surfing the manufacturer’s sites to determine which tires are the best for winter use.
