Tires (cont'd)
Winter Driving
Tires marked "M + S" or "all season" have an all-weather tread
design and should be suitable for most driving conditions. However,
snow tires and tire chains may be required under some conditions. If
your tires do not have these markings, they may not be suitable for
winter driving conditions. We recommend snow tires or tire chains
for snow and icy conditions.
Snow Tires
If you use snow tires, they should be of the same size, construction
and load capacity as the original tires on your car. Snow tires must
be installed in sets of four, or they may cause poor handling. Driving
with snow tires on dry roads can reduce your car's performance
during acceleration, turning, and stopping.
If you need further information on snow tires, please contact your
Honda dealer.
Tire Chains
Use chains only when conditions require them. Check with local
authorities for requirements prior to installing tire chains. Make sure
the chains are the right size for your tires. Install them only on the
drive wheels of your car, and do so as tightly as possible, following
the manufacturer's instructions. If metal chains are used, they must
be SAE Class " S . " Cable type traction devices can also be used.
Drive slowly with chains installed. If you hear the chains contacting
your car's body or chassis, stop and tighten them.
CAUTION:
If the contact continues, slow down until it stops or your car can
be damaged.
Chains that are the wrong size or improperly installed can
damage your car's brake lines, suspension, body, and wheels.
If you need further information on tire chains, please see your
Honda dealer.
Remove the chains as soon as the road is clear of ice and snow.
