FORD 2003 Explorer Sport Trac v.1 - Manual (Page 198)

SNOW TIRES AND TRACTION DEVICES
Snow tires must be the same size and grade as the original tires.
Your tires have all-weather treads to provide traction in the rain and
snow. In some climate, using snow tires or traction devices may be
necessary. For Motor Company offers tire cables as a Ford approved
accessory and recommends use of these or SAE class “S” cables. See
your dealer for more information.
Follow these guidelines:
• Do not use tire cables or chains with P255/70R16 size tires.
• Cables or chains should only be used on the rear wheels.
• If you need to use chains, it is recommended that steel wheels (of the
same size and specification) be used, as chains may chip aluminum
wheels.
• Install cables or chains securely, verifying that they do not touch any
wiring, brake lines or fuel lines.
• Avoid overloading your vehicle.
• Do not use cables or chains on dry roads.
• Do not exceed 48 km/h (30 mph).
• Drive cautiously.
Remove the cables or chains when they are no longer needed.
