There are numerous other markings on a typical tire, these may include:

• M+S, or M&S: Mud and Snow; A tire that meets the Rubber Manufacturers Association (RMA) and Rubber Association of Canada (RAC) all-season tire definition. These are all-weather tires, with self-cleaning tread and above-average traction in muddy or very light snowy conditions, and for low ambient temperatures. Spike tires have an additional letter, "E" (M+SE).

• Mountain Snowflake Pictograph: Winter passenger and light truck tires that meet the severe snow service requirements of Rubber Manufacturers Association (RMA) and Rubber Association of Canada (RAC).

• BSW: Black Sidewall

• WSW: White Sidewall

• OWL: Outline White Lettering

• ORWL: Outlined Raised White Lettering

• RWL: Raised White Lettering

• VSB: Vertical Serrated Band

• BSL: Black Serrated Letters

• E4: Tire approved according ECE-regulations, the number indicating the country of approval.

• DOT Code: All tires for use in the USA have a Department Of Transportation (DOT) code. It specifies the company, factory, mold, batch, and date of production (two digits for week of the year plus two digits for year).

• TL: Tubeless

• TT: Tube-type, tire must be used with an inner-tube

• Made in...: Country of production

• SFI, or Inner: Side Facing Inwards; inside of asymmetric tires

• SFO, or Outer: Side Facing Outwards; outside of asymmetric tires

• SL: Standard Load; tire for normal usage and loads

• XL: Extra Load; a tire that allows a higher inflation pressure than a Standard Load tire, which increases the tire's maximum load.

• Arrows: Some tread designs are "directional", and designed to perform better when driven in a specific direction (clockwise or counter-clockwise). Such tires will have an arrow showing which way the tire should rotate when the vehicle is moving forwards. It is important not to put a "clockwise" tire on the left hand side of the car or a "counter-clockwise" tire on the right side.
