All Nokian winter tires have the mountain snowflake designation. The mountain snowflake symbol was created in Canada to designate a winter tire that has passed the minimum requirements for winter traction. Anyone that drives in winter conditions should consider having tires with this symbol on them as a minimum requirement. Nokian tires routinely exceed the requirements for this symbol.
