Look for the actual marking

Check the exact SKU for the three-peak mountain snowflake symbol when severe-snow qualification matters. M+S is a different marking.

Keep the vehicle constraints

Season choice does not override the required load index, speed rating, tire class, wheel dimensions or front/rear configuration.

Put the answer to work

Start with the actual vehicle label or installed component. Then use our vehicle directory and comparison tools to narrow the research. Any missing condition should be checked with the manufacturer or a qualified installer.
