Tire chains

Tire chains, if necessary, should be

installed on the drive wheels (rear

wheels).

Be sure that the chains are installed

in accordance with the manufactur-

er's instructions.

To minimize tire and chain wear, do

not continue to use tire chains when

they are no longer needed.

Radial-ply tires

Radial-ply tires provide improved tread

life, road hazard resistance and

smoother high speed ride. The radial-

ply tires used on this vehicle are of

belted construction, and are selected

to complement the ride and handling

characteristics of your vehicle. Radial-

ply tires have the same load carrying

capacity, as bias-ply or bias belted tires

of the same size, and use the same

recommended inflation pressure.

Mixing of radial-ply tires with bias-ply or

bias belted tires is not recommended.

Any combinations of radial-ply and

bias-ply or bias belted tires when used

on the same vehicle will seriously dete-

riorate vehicle handling. The best rule

to follow is: Identical radial-ply tires

should always be used as a set of four.

Longer wearing tires can be more

susceptible to irregular tread wear. It

is very important to follow the tire

rotation interval shown in this section

to achieve the tread life potential of

these tires. Cuts and punctures in

radial-ply tires are repairable only in

the tread area, because of sidewall

flexing. Consult your tire dealer for

radial-ply tire repairs.

WARNING - Snow or ice

• When driving on roads cov-

ered with snow or ice, drive at

less than 20 mph (30 km/h).

• Use the SAE “S” class or wire

chains.

• If you hear noise caused by

chains contacting the body,

retighten the chain to avoid

contact with the vehicle body.

• To prevent body damage,

retighten the chains after driv-

ing 0.3~0.6 miles (0.5~1.0 km).

• Do not use tire chains on

vehicles equipped with alu-

minum wheels. In unavoid-

able circumstance, use a wire

type chain.

• Use wire chains less than 0.47

inches (12 mm) to prevent

damage to the chain’s con-

nection.
