WARNING! (Continued)

Failure to equip your vehicle with tires having

adequate speed capability can result in sudden tire
failure and loss of vehicle control.

CAUTION!

Replacing original tires with tires of a different size may
result in false speedometer and odometer readings.

TIRE CHAINS (TRACTION DEVICES)

Use of traction devices require sufficient tire-to-body clear-
ance. Follow these recommendations to guard against
damage:

• Traction device must be of proper size for the tire, as

recommended by the traction device manufacturer.

• Install on front tires only.

• 225/65R16 and 235/60R16 tires with the use of a

traction device that meets the SAE type “Class S”
specification is recommended.

• Due to limited clearance, P225/65R17 and 225/65R17

tires with a Security Chain Company (SCC) Super Z6 low
profile traction device or equivalent is recommended.

WARNING!

Using tires of different size and type (M+S, Snow)
between front and rear axles can cause unpredictable
handling. You could lose control and have a collision.
