WARNING!
Fast spinning tires can be dangerous. Forces
generated by excessive wheel speeds may
cause tire damage or failure. A tire could
explode and injure someone. Do not spin your
vehicle’s wheels faster than 30 mph (48 km/h)
when you are stuck, and do not let anyone
near a spinning wheel, no matter what the
speed.
Tire Chains
Use of traction devices require sufficient tire-to-
body clearance. Follow these recommenda-
tions to guard against damage.
•
Install on Rear Tires Only
•
Due to limited clearance, use SAE class “S”
low profile cables or traction devices only.
Security Chain Company (SCC) Super Z6
#SZ 441 cables or equivalent are recom-
mended.
WARNING!
Using tires of different size and type (M+S,
Snow) between front and rear axles can
cause unpredictable handling. You could lose
control and have a collision.
CAUTION!
To avoid damage to your vehicle or tires,
observe the following precautions:
•
Because of restricted traction device clear-
ance between tires and other suspension
components, it is important that only trac-
tion devices in good condition are used.
Broken devices can cause serious dam-
age. Stop the vehicle immediately if noise
occurs that could indicate device breakage.
Remove the damaged parts of the device
before further use.
•
Install device as tightly as possible and
then retighten after driving about 0.5 mile
(0.8 km).
•
Do not exceed 30 mph (48 km/h).
(Continued)
CAUTION!
(Continued)
•
Drive cautiously and avoid severe turns
and large bumps, especially with a loaded
vehicle.
•
Do not drive for prolonged period on dry
pavement.
•
Observe the traction device manufacturer’s
instructions on the method of installation,
operating speed, and conditions for use.
Always use the suggested operating speed
of the device manufacturer’s if it is less than
30 mph (48 km/h).
•
Do not use traction devices on a compact
spare tire.
Treadwear Indicators
These indicators are narrow strips 1/16 in
(1.6 mm) thick and are found in the tread
pattern grooves.
When the tread pattern is worn down to these
treadwear indicators, the tires should be re-
placed.
