It is not Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake certified, so it is not intended for heavy snow or severe winter driving — a dedicated winter tire is a better choice for those conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does the 50,000-mile warranty cover?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSummit backs the Ultramax AS with a 50,000-mile limited manufacturer tread life warranty.
