Tire Chains

NOTICE:

If your vehicle has P225/60R16 size tires, don’t
use tire chains. They can damage your vehicle
because there’s not enough clearance.

Use another type of traction device only if its
manufacturer recommends it for use on your
vehicle and tire size combination and road
conditions. Follow that manufacturer’s
instructions. To help avoid damage to your
vehicle, drive slowly, readjust or remove the
device if it’s contacting your vehicle, and don’t
spin your wheels.

NOTICE: (Continued)

NOTICE: (Continued)

If you do find traction devices that will fit, install
them on the front tires.

If you have other tires, use tire chains only where
legal and only when you must. Use only SAE
Class “S” type chains that are the proper size for
your tires. Install them on the front tires and
tighten them as tightly as possible with the ends
securely fastened. Drive slowly and follow the
chain manufacturer’s instructions. If you can
hear the chains contacting your vehicle, stop and
retighten them. If the contact continues, slow
down until it stops. Driving too fast or spinning
the wheels with chains on will damage 
your vehicle.
