Cyberhusky… about a year ago I contacted Goodyear about this because in their site they say that the Duratrac has the snowflake symbol (look very carefully at the picture and you can see it) but my tires don’t have it.

The answer that they gave me was actually very interesting.

They said that the Duratracs does. It have to be tested for 3PMSF because it is a POR (professional off-road tire).

I then looked this up, and there is indeed an EU law that states that POR tires are exempt from the 3PMSF classification.

Consequently, if we have a tire that is POR, then it is also accepted in the alps and Germany as if it were 3PMSF rated.

@nebc
The POR = 3PMSF classification is very interesting. Let's hope French and German police knows that too.
It the POR marked anywhere on the tyre? 22MY Defender 110 (actual) | 10MY Freelander 2 (history) | 15MY Discovery Sport HSE (history)

Yes… the POR marking is in the tire.

It isn’t that the POR is equivalent to the 3PMSF but that they are exclusive… a tire cannot have both.

In MOST countries, there is a rule that shows that POR tires are “equivalent” to 3PMSF…. I don’t know if it is everywhere.

The POR tire is supposed to be for “Extreme weather conditions”…. So I can see that it should be OK…. If the police know this when you are stopped…. That is another question.
