3PMSF Tyre Marking

3PMSF
Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake
Certified for severe snow service against a measured snow-traction requirement. A stronger claim than M+S, which is a tread-pattern self-declaration rather than a tested one.

Defined in UN vehicle regulation.

Where 3PMSF is on the tyre

On the tyre it is not letters at all — it is the three-peak mountain with a snowflake inside, moulded low on the wall. Here it is on an example tyre.
