M+S (mud and snow) marking on the tire sidewall indicates an 'all season' tire designed for use all year round, including cold temperatures, snow and ice.

This symbol identifies dedicated winter tires, which can be fitted if optimum

This symbol identifies dedicated winter tires, which can be fitted if optimum winter traction is required, or the vehicle is to be used in more extreme winter conditions.

Note that the dedicated winter tire often has a lower speed rating than the original equipment tire, and the vehicle must therefore be driven within the speed limitation of the tire.

The tire pressures indicated on the tire pressure label are for use in all conditions on the original equipment tires. If a reduced speed rating tire is fitted, the recommended pressures are only suitable for use below 100 mph (160 km/h).

For optimum traction, tires should be run in for at least 100 miles (160 kilometers) on dry roads prior to driving on snow or ice.

Recommended winter tires are identified in the following table:
