As I understand, This rating means it passed an acceleration test in some icy condition. Is there anything I can assume about a tire with this rating, or is it more of a meaningless stamp? It seems counterintuitive that a tire can be a severe snow tire but not a snow tire.
I'm hunting for some highway tires in Florida and have run across some tires that have good looking highway tread (boring) but have this rating. Should I leave them off the list?
My current guess is that they are regular touring or all season tires with more "biting edges" than a regular ole touring type tire.
Here’s the logo you’d see molded into the sidewall.
