6-55 Tire Chains
CAUTION:
If your vehicle has P235/75R15, P235/70R15,
P235/55R16 or 31x10.50R15LT/C size tires, don't
use tire chains. They can damage your vehicle
because there's not enough clearance.
Tire chains used on a vehicle without the proper
amount of clearance can cause damage to the
brakes, suspension or other vehicle parts. The
area damaged by the tire chains could cause you
to lose control of your vehicle and you or others
may be injured in a crash.
Use another type of traction device only if its
manufacturer recommends it for use on your vehicle
and tire size combination and road conditions.
Follow that manufacturer's instructions. To help
avoid damage to your vehicle, drive slowly, readjust
or remove the device if it's contacting your vehicle,
and don't spin your wheels.
If you do find traction devices that will fit, install
them on the rear tires.
NOTICE:
If your vehicle has a tire size other than
P235/75R15, P235/70R15, P235/55R16 or
31x10.50R15LT/C, use tire chains only where
legal and only when you must. Use only SAE
Class ªSº type chains that are the proper size for
your tires. Install them on the drive axle tires
(four
-wheel-drive vehicles can use chains on both
axles) and tighten them as tightly as possible with
the ends securely fastened. Drive slowly and
follow the chain manufacturer's instructions.
If you can hear the chains contacting your
vehicle, stop and retighten them. If the contact
continues, slow down until it stops. Driving too
fast or spinning the wheels with chains on will
damage your vehicle.
