Always use the lower suggested operating speed if both

the chain manufacturer and vehicle manufacturer sug-

gest a maximum speed. This notice applies to all chain

traction devices, including link and cable (radial) chains.

SNOW TIRES

Some areas of the country require the use of snow tires

during the winter. Standardtires areof the all season type

and satisfy this requirement as indicated by the M+S

designation on the tire sidewall.

If you need snow tires, select tires equivalent in size and

type to the original equipment tires. Use snow tires only

in sets of four. Failure to do so may adversely affect the

safety and handling of your vehicle.

Snow tires generally have lower speed ratings than what

was originally equipped with your vehicle and should

not be operated at sustained speeds over 75 mph

(120 km/h).

TIRE ROTATION RECOMMENDATIONS

Tires on the front and rear axles of vehicles operate at

different loads and perform different steering, driving,

and braking functions. For these reasons, they wear at

unequal rates and tend to develop irregular wear pat-

terns.

These effects can be reduced by timely rotation of tires.

The benefits of rotation are especially worthwhile with

aggressive tread designs such as those on all season type

tires. Rotation will increase tread life, help to maintain

mud, snow, and wet traction levels, and contribute to a

smooth, quiet ride.

Refer to the “Maintenance Schedule” in Section 8 for the

proper maintenance intervals. Remember, more frequent

rotation is permissible if desired. Also, correct for any-

thing causing rapid or unusual wear prior to performing

the tire rotation.
