Tire Chains
{
CAUTION:
If your VEHICLE has P255/45R17, P255/45ZR18,
P275/40R19, or 255/45ZR18 size tires, do not use
tire chains, as there is 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 the 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 the vehicle, drive slowly,
readjust, or remove the device if it is contacting
the vehicle, and do not spin the vehicle’s wheels.
If you do find traction devices that will fit, install
them on the rear tires only.
Notice: If your vehicle has P235/50R17 size tires,
use tire chains only where legal and only when you
must. Use only SAE Class S-type chains that are
the proper size for your tires. Install them on the rear
tires 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.
