and rear of 4X4 vehicles, trucks with dual rear wheels
and LT235/80R17 tires.

SNOW TIRES

Some areas of the country require the use of snow tires
during the winter. All season tires can be identified by the
M+S designation on the tire sidewall. Snow tires can be
identified by a mountain/snowflake symbol on the tire
sidewall.
