Winter Tires

If driving on snowy or frozen roads, mount all season marked 

M+S

 tires, snow tires, 

or tire chains; reduce speed; and maintain sufficient distance between vehicles when 
driving.

Be particularly careful when operating the steering wheel or brakes to prevent 
skidding.

Use tire chains, snow tires, or all season tires when necessary or according to the 
law.

When mounting, refer to the following points.

For winter tires:

•

Select the size and load ranges that are the same as the original tires.

•

Mount the tires to all four wheels.
