Replace the tires when the wear
band is visible through the tire
treads.
Failure to follow these
precautions may adversely
affect the handling of the vehicle
and make it easier to lose control
and roll over.
Tires that are larger or smaller
than your vehicle's original tires
may also affect the accuracy of
your speedometer.

Snow tires must be the
same size and grade as the

weather treads to provide traction
in rain and snow. However, in some
climates, you may need to use
snow tires and chains.
Follow these guidelines when using
snow tires and chains:
