Snow tires
CAUTION
If you  mount snow tires on  your vehicle,
make  sure  they  are  radial  tires  of  the
same size and load range as the original
tires. Mount snow tires on all four wheels
to balance  your vehicle’s  handling in  all
weather conditions. Keep in mind that the
traction  provided  by  snow  tires on  dry
roads may  not be  as high as  your vehi-
cle's originally equipped tires.You  should
drive cautiously even when the roads are
clear. Check with the tire dealer  for max-
imum speed recommendations.

chain  connecting hooks  may  be
damaged from contacting vehicle
components   causing  the   snow
chains  to  come  loose  from   the
tire.  Make sure  the  snow chains
are SAE class “S” certified.
