Damage may lead to tyre blowout.
Tyre 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 tyre chains could cause loss of control and a
crash. Use another type of traction
device only if its manufacturer
recommends it for the vehicle's tyre
size combination and road conditions.
Follow that manufacturer's
instructions. To avoid vehicle
damage, drive slowly and readjust or
remove the traction device if it
contacts the vehicle. Do not spin the
wheels. If traction devices are used,
install them on the front tyres.

chains which are permitted for Opel
