logos/ symbols on winter tires?

[Olivier]

Hi,

I cannot find anything on logo and what they are for?
Apparently the snowflake on a peak mountain is only North American, while the snowflakes in a Square is EU?
Is that correct and both are equal?

what are the rest for? Rain it look it it, but is it aquaplaning?
Why the Sun? Are they OK as summer tire?

And the vawy lines? What's for?

There is also a Mud and Snow letters stamped. M&S
Cheers

Snow
Extreme Rain
Mud
Sunshine

There is also

Oil petrol pump
Leafs, obvious
Highway speed, road symbol

Thank you

Look like they were made for the weather here in Scotland :bannana:

Odd about sunshine tho as I saw a wee demo from Goodyear stating that winter tires on the summer are no good compare to summer tires.

They wear like mad in good warm weather, for you in Scotland that's not too often

I cannot see it anymore but they were saying the brake response on the winter tire during the summer was worse then the summer tires due to the rubber been too soft.
But indeed, they are good for 8 month a year here
