Tire chains – Jeep 2007 Commander User Manual

Improper alignment will not cause vehicle vibration.
Vibration may be a result of tire and wheel out-of-
balance. Proper balancing will reduce vibration and
avoid tire cupping and spotty wear.
TIRE CHAINS
Certain models have sufficient tire-to-body clearance to
allow use of tire chains. Install chains on rear tires only.
Follow these recommendations to guard against damage
and excessive tire and chain wear:
• Do not install tire chains or traction devices on ve-
hicles with larger than P235/65R17 size tires. Tires
larger than this may not provide sufficient body
clearance with chains or other traction devices.
• Use SAE class “S” tire chains or traction devices only.
• Follow tire chain manufacturer’s instructions for
mounting chains.
• Install chains snugly and tighten after 1/2 mile (1 km)
of driving.
• Do not exceed 35 mph (56 km/h), unless otherwise
specified by the chain manufacturer.
• Drive cautiously, avoiding large bumps, potholes and
extreme driving maneuvers.
