Summary
[edit]DescriptionAlpine symbol for snow tires.gif |
English: "In order to enable the agency to ascertain which tires are to be tested at 110 km/h, the agency is adding a labeling requirement to all PC snow tires and LT snow tires with load ranges of C, D, and E that are certified at this test speed. The manufacturers must mark their snow tires with the Alpine Symbol if they wish to certify their snow tires to the special requirements applicable to snow tires. The use of the Alpine Symbol will have the added benefit of enabling consumers to identify snow tires that provide a higher level of snow traction compared to all-season tires. However, the tire manufacturers are not obligated to do so if they wish to certify their snow tires to the normal requirements of the Standard. Thus, only the snow tires certified to the reduced test speed requirements must display an Alpine symbol (as shown below), on at least one sidewall. The symbol is currently required in Canada as a means of identifying snow tires.
If the manufacturers choose to mark their snow tires with the Alpine Symbol, the mountain profile must have a minimum base of 15 mm and a minimum height of 15 mm, and must contain three peaks with the middle peak being the tallest. Inside the mountain profile, there must be a six-sided snowflake having a minimum height of one-half the tallest peak." |
