3PMSF
Filter to 3PMSF-certified tires
Québec's winter mandate turns on the three-peak mountain snowflake, so it is worth filtering on. Every winter and all-weather tire we stock carries it — that is confirmed for the whole of our distributor's winter program — and we apply the mark to nothing outside those two categories.
All 198 tires on this page are 3PMSF certified, so the filter has nothing to remove.

Winter tires in Canada: what actually matters
Winter tire law in Canada, province by province
Three provinces treat winter tires differently, and only one of them accepts an M+S marking as proof. These are legal requirements, not recommendations.
| Province | Window | Requirement |
|---|---|---|
| Québec | 1 December – 15 March | Mandatory on all four wheels. The tire must carry the 3PMSF pictograph or be studded — an M+S marking alone does not comply. Fines run $200 to $300. |
| British Columbia | 1 October – 30 April | Required on most designated highways; a lower-risk subset ends 31 March. BC accepts either 3PMSF or M+S, with a minimum 3.5 mm of tread. |
| Ontario | No mandate | No legal requirement. Insurers offer a winter tire discount, which typically requires 3PMSF-marked tires — check your own policy for its wording and dates. |
Winter tire rules and fines change, and highway designations are revised season by season. Confirm the current requirement with your own province's transport ministry before you drive — this page is a summary, not legal advice.
We deliver to your door anywhere in Canada. We do not install — budget shop time on top of the shipping window when you plan a swap.
Frequently asked questions
When should I install winter tires?
The trigger is temperature, not snowfall. Winter compounds stay pliable below roughly 7 °C while all-season rubber stiffens and loses grip, so most of Canada fits them between late October and mid-November. Two provinces set dates for you: Québec's mandate starts 1 December, and British Columbia's designated-highway rules start 1 October. Order with room to spare — we deliver, we don't install, so you need shop time on top of the shipping window.
When should I take them off?
Once daytime highs sit consistently above about 7 °C — usually late March through mid-April, depending on where you live. Québec's mandate ends 15 March; British Columbia's runs to 30 April on most designated highways and to 31 March on a lower-risk subset. Leaving winter tires on through a warm spring wears the soft compound fast and lengthens your dry-road stopping distance.
3PMSF vs M+S — which is legal in Québec?
3PMSF. Québec requires the three-peak mountain snowflake pictograph, or studs; an M+S (mud and snow) sidewall marking on its own does not comply, and the fine runs $200 to $300. British Columbia is the more permissive of the two: on designated highways it accepts either 3PMSF or M+S, provided at least 3.5 mm of tread remains. M+S describes a tread pattern, while 3PMSF is awarded after a measured snow-traction test — which is why the two are not interchangeable in law.
Do I need four winter tires or two?
Four. Fitting winter tires to one axle only leaves the other axle with far less grip, and that mismatch makes the car behave unpredictably at exactly the wrong moment: winters on the front alone let the rear step out in a corner, winters on the rear alone leave you with no steering. Tire manufacturers and provincial road-safety authorities are unanimous on this, and Québec's regulation requires compliant tires on all four wheels. Sets of four are the default quantity on every tire on this site.
What about all-weather tires?
An all-weather tire is a year-round tread that can also carry 3PMSF certification, so a certified set is legal in Québec through the winter window and saves you the twice-a-year swap. The trade-off is real: a dedicated winter tire still stops shorter on ice and packed snow, and an all-weather wears faster in summer heat than a true all-season. Check the individual product — the badge appears on every winter and all-weather tire we stock.
Do you install the tires you sell?
No. We are delivery-only, anywhere in Canada. Your tires arrive at your door and you take them to any shop, or fit them yourself. That is also why we quote no installation price: there isn't one.
