Winter Driving

Tires that are marked "M+S" or

"All Season" on the sidewall have an

all-weather tread design. They

should be suitable for most winter

driving conditions. Tires without

these markings are designed for

optimum traction in dry conditions.

They may not provide adequate

performance in winter driving.

For the best performance in snowy

or icy conditions, you should install

snow tires or tire chains. They may

be required by local laws under

certain conditions.

Snow Tires

If you mount snow tires on your

Honda, make sure they are radial

tires of the same size and load range

as the original tires. Mount snow

tires on all four wheels to balance

your car's handling in all weather

conditions. Keep in mind the traction

provided by snow tires on dry roads

may not be as high as your car's

original equipment tires. You should

drive cautiously even when the roads

are clear. Check with the tire dealer

for maximum speed recommenda-

tions.
