Important!
Unidirectional snow tires must
always be mounted with arrow on
tire sidewall pointing in direction of
vehicle forward movement.
Note:
Thoroughly clean the inner side of
the wheels any time you rotate the
wheels or wash the vehicle
underside.
The use of retread tires is not
recommended. Retread tires may
adversely affect the handling
characteristics and safety of the
vehicle.
Dented or bent rims cause tire
pressure loss and damage to the
tire beads. For this reason, check
rims for damage at regular
intervals.
The rim flanges must be checked
for wear before a tire is mounted.
Remove burrs, if there are any.

jackstands before working
under the vehicle.
