HOW OLD IS YOUR VEHICLE'S BATTERY

When you find the 3PMSF (Three Peak Mountain Snowflake) symbol on the side of a tire, it indicates the tires meet certain U.S. Tire Manufacturer Association (USTMA) requirements for severe snow conditions.

Here’s a closer look at what it means:

1. Snow Performance: Tires with the 3PMSF symbol have been tested and meet certain performance standards for winter traction on snow-covered roads. This makes them suitable for severe winter conditions.
   
2. Testing Standards: To earn this rating, tires must pass standardized tests that measure their ability to grip and handle in snow. This includes evaluating acceleration, braking, and cornering on snowy surfaces.
   
3. Regulatory Compliance: The 3PMSF rating is recognized by many regulatory bodies and is often a requirement for winter tire compliance in various regions, indicating that the tire is appropriate for winter use.

In summary, if you see the 3-Peak Mountain Snowflake on a tire, it signifies that the tire is designed for excellent performance in severe winter conditions, providing peace of mind for drivers in snowy climates.
