MFS Tyre Marking

MFS
Maximum Flange Shield
A protective rib on the tyre sidewall that shields the rim from kerb damage.

A manufacturer's own marking — no standards body defines it.

Where MFS is on the tyre

Lettered markings read as the tail of the size string, moulded right after the speed symbol. Here it is on an example tyre.
