Your vehicle is equipped with “all season tires” which are designed to
provide an adequate measure of traction, handling and braking perfor-
mance in year-round driving. In winter, it may be possible to enhance
performance through use of tires designed specifically for winter driving
conditions.
If you choose to install winter tires on your vehicle, be sure to use the
correct tire size and type. You must install four winter tires that are of the
same size, construction, brand and load range and you should never
mix radial, belted bias or bias tires since this may result in dangerous
handling characteristics. When you choose a tire, make sure that there is
enough clearance between the tire and vehicle body.
Remember to drive with care at all times regardless of the type of tires on
your vehicle.
Your vehicle comes with P225/60R16 “all season tires” as original
equipment. You should be aware that some winter tires with that
same size designation may actually be too large for the vehicle and
may cause rubbing on sharp turns. Listed below is the winter tire
size that we recommend.
Recommended winter (snow) tire size
P215/60R16 Studless
J Tire chains
CAUTION
Tire chains cannot be used on tires listed below because of lack
of clearance between the tires and vehicle body.
D P225/60R16 tires
D P215/60R16 winter (snow) tires
Driving on snowy grades or icy roads may require the use of tire chains,
in which case put the chains on the front wheels only. Use only SAE
class S type chains that are of the correct size for your tires so as not to
damage the vehicle body or suspension.
