pressure. Mixing of radial-ply tires
with bias-ply or bias belted tires is
not recommended. Any combina-
tions of radial-ply and bias-ply or bias
belted tires when used on the same
vehicle will seriously deteriorate
vehicle handling. The best rule to fol-
low 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.

•
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.
Do not drive faster than 75 mph (120
km/h) when your vehicle is equipped
with snow tires.
•
•
To prevent body damage, retighten
the chains after driving 0.3~0.6
miles (0.5~1.0 km).
Do not use tire chains on vehicles
equipped with aluminum wheels.
In unavoidable circumstance, use
a wire type chain.
•
Use wire chains less than 0.47
inches (12 mm) to prevent damage
to the chain’s connection.
