All Season Tires
All Seasons radial tires qualify as snow tires with a 37% higher average rating for snow traction than non-All Seasons radial tires. Other performance areas, such as wet traction, rolling resistance, tread life, and air retention, were also improved slightly. This was done by improvements in both tread design and tread compounds. These tires are identified by an "M + S" molded in the tire sidewall following the size. The suffix "MS" is also molded in the sidewall after the TPC specification number.
