year around. In some extreme climates
you may find it necessary to replace them
with snow tires during the winter months
to further improve traction on snow and
ice covered roads.

WARNING

Use only the same size and type tires
(snow, radial, or non-radial) on all
four wheels:
Using tires different in size or type is
dangerous. Your vehicle's handling
could be greatly affected and result in
an accident.

CAUTION

Check local regulations before using
studded tires.

NOTE

If your vehicle is equipped with the tire
pressure monitoring system, the system
may not function correctly when using
tires with steel wire reinforcement in
the sidewalls (page 5-25).

lower.

Drive carefully and avoid bumps,
holes, and sharp turns.

l

Do not use chains on a temporary
spare tire; it may result in damage to
the vehicle and to the tire.

l

Do not use chains on roads that are
free of snow or ice. The tires and
chains could be damaged.

may not function correctly when using
tire chains.
