Vehicles with 225/60R18 tires
Tire chains cannot be mounted on the
225/60R18 tires.
Snow tires should be used instead.
Regulations regarding the use of tire
chains vary depending on location and
type of road. Always check local regu-
lations before installing chains. ■
Tire chain installation
Observe the following precautions when
installing and removing chains: ●
Install and remove tire chains in a safe
location.●
Install tire chains on the front tires only.
Do not install tire chains on the rear tires.●
Install tire chains on fr ont tires as tightly as
possible. Retighten chains after driving 1/
4 - 1/2 mile (0.5 - 1.0 km).
●
Install tire chains following the instruc-
tions provided with the tire chains.  Specific design characteristics give
it a higher center of gravity than
ordinary passenger cars. This vehi-
cle design feature causes this type
of vehicle to be more likely to roll-
over. Utility vehicles have a signifi-
cantly higher rollover rate than
other types of vehicles.
 It is not designed for cornering at
the same speeds as ordinary pas-
senger cars any more than low-
slung sports cars designed to per-
form satisfactorily under off-road
conditions. Therefore, sharp turns at
excessive speeds may cause roll-
over.Regulations on the use of tire
