All Seasons Tires Description

Most vehicles are now equipped with steel belted, all-season radial tires as standard equipment. These tires provide a soft, quiet ride, good handling, and long tread life. These tires provide all-season traction and low rolling resistance in order to help improve fuel economy.

These tires have higher snow traction than non allseason radial tires previously used. For this reason, these qualify as snow tires. You can identify these tires by an M+S molded in the tire sidewall after the size. The suffix MS also is molded in the sidewall after the TPC specification number.
