Jeep 2008 Liberty - Manual (Page 344)

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
Use only compact chains, or other traction aids that meet
SAE type “Class S” specifications. Chains must be the
proper size for the vehicle, as recommended by the chain
manufacturer. In addition, only install tire chains on
P235/65R17 or smaller tires.
CAUTION!
To avoid damage to your vehicle, tires, or chains, observe the following
precautions:
• Do not use tire chains on vehicles equipped with tires other than
P235/65R17 tires. There may not be adequate clearance for the chains and
you are risking structural or body damage to your vehicle.
• Because of limited chain clearance between tires and other suspension
components, it is important that only chains in good condition are used.
Broken chains can cause serious vehicle damage. Stop the vehicle
immediately if noise occurs that could suggest chain breakage. Remove
the damaged parts of the chain before further use.
• Install chains on the rear wheels as tightly as possible and then retighten
after driving about 1 ⁄ 2 mile (0.8 km).
• Do not exceed 45 mph (72 km/h).
• Drive cautiously and avoid severe turns and large bumps, especially with
a loaded vehicle.
• Use on Rear Wheels only.
• Do not drive for a prolonged period on dry pavement.
• Observe the tire chain manufacturer’s instructions on method of instal-
lation, operating speed, and conditions for use. Always use the lower
suggested operating speed of the chain manufacturer if different from
the speed recommended by the manufacturer.
