October 13, 2006, Newsletter Issue #9: What Does "M+S" Mean?

Tip of the Week

On the sides of some truck tires you will see the designation "M+S," which stands for Mud and Snow. M+S tires are built to improve performance in snow compared to tires that are not designated as snow-and-mud tires. Another set of tires carries a mountain and snowflake emblem which indicates the tire is rated for severe snow- these tires perform even better than the M+S versions. Some people are big believers in all-weather tires as opposed to snow tires or winter tires, but for people who live in areas of potentially heavy snowfall, big brand winter tires or better are preferable.
