Two marks worth looking for
| 3PMSF — three-peak mountain snowflake | Proven snow performance. A legal winter tyre. M+S alone doesn't mean this. |
| Ice grip mark — mountain and ice crystal | Soft Nordic compound, separately ice-tested. Far fewer tyres carry this. |
Frequently asked questions
How does a friction tyre differ from a studded tyre?
A friction tyre has no studs — grip comes from the rubber compound and a dense lamella pattern. It's quieter and legal year-round.
What is the 3PMSF mark?
A three-peak-mountain-snowflake mark on the tyre's sidewall. It means the tyre has passed a snow traction test. M+S alone is the manufacturer's own marking, without a test.
Can a friction tyre be used in summer?
Yes — a friction tyre is legal year-round. However, a winter compound wears faster in the heat.
What wet grip class should I expect from a friction tyre?
A winter compound usually gives a lower wet grip class than a summer tyre. The class is shown on every tyre and you can filter by it.
