STARTING AND OPERATING
Improp er alignm ent will not cause vehicle vibration,
which may be a resu lt of tire and wheel out-of-balance.
Prop er balancing will red uce vibration and avoid tire
cupping and spotty wear.
• Do not exceed 30 mph (48 km/ h).
•
Drive cautiou sly, avoid ing large bumps, potholes and
extrem e driving maneu vers.
•
Do not use chains or traction devices on the Poly-sp are
tire.
TIRE CHAINS
Install chains on rear tires only. Tire chains may be
installed on all models excep t Sahara. Follow these
recom mend ations to guard against damage and exces-
sive tire and chain wear:
TIRE ROTATION RECOMMENDATIONS
Tires on the front and rear axles of vehicles operate at
different load s and perform different steering, hand ling,
and braking functions. For these reasons, they wear at
unequ al rates, and develop irregu lar wear patterns.
•
Use chains on P205/ 75R15 or P215/ 75R15 tires only.
P225/ 75R15, LT30 x 9.50R15, and LT245/ 75R16 tires
do not provid e adequ ate clearance.
These effects can be red uced by timely rotation of tires.
The benefits of rotation are especially worthw hile with
aggressive tread designs such as those on On/ Off Road
typ e tires. Rotation will increase tread life, help to main-
tain mud, snow, and wet traction levels, and contribu te to
a smooth, quiet rid e.
•
•
Use SAE class “S” tire chains or traction devices only.
Chains must be the prop er size for the vehicle, as
recom mend ed by the chain manu factu rer.
•
•
Follow tire chain manu factu rer’s instru ctions for
mounting chains.
Install chains snu gly and tighten after.6 mile (1 km) of
driving.
