Consider installing winter tires
on the vehicle if frequent
driving on snow or ice-covered
roads is expected. All-season

With winter tires, there may
be decreased dry road
traction, increased road noise,
and shorter tread life. After
changing to winter tires, be
alert for changes in vehicle

If using winter tires:

Use tires of the same brand

wheel positions.

Use only radial ply tires of
the same size, load range,

Winter tires with the same

tires with a lower speed rating
are chosen, never exceed the
tire's maximum speed
