In some areas of the country, snow tires are required for winter driving. If snow tires are required in your area, you must choose snowtires of the same size
and type as the original
tires provided with your
vehicle. Snow tires
should also be
installed on all four wheels.
Otherwise your safety
and vehicle handling
can be reduced. Even where laws may permit it, snow tires should not be operated
at sustained speeds
over 75 mph (120 km/h).

f so equipped) can be
installed temporarily in place of a tire that has been removed duri

CAUTION If the tires have arrows (A) indicating the correct direction of rotation, swap the frontand rear tires on the left-hand side of thevehicle and the front and rear tires on the right-hand side of th
e vehicle separately.
Keep each tire on its original side of thevehicle. When installing the tires, make sure the arrows point in the
direction in which the
wheels will turn when the vehicle moves for-ward. Any tire whose
arrow points in the
wrong direction will not
perform to its full
potential.CAUTION Avoid the combined use of different types of tires. Using different t
ypes of tires can affect
vehicle performance and safety.

will not be possible
to install the tire pressure sensor properly.

used on your vehicle.
The clearance between the chains and thebody is not sufficient
to allow proper clear-
ance, and the vehicle body might be dam- aged.
