TIRE CARE
DRIVING IN LOW AMBIENT
TEMPERATURES
The tires installed on your Karma are
specially formulated summer tires that are
not intended to be driven in near-freezing
temperatures, through snow or on ice.
Tire performance reduces in low ambient
temperatures, resulting in less grip and an
increased susceptibility to damage from
impacts. When driving in sustained
temperatures below 50°F (10°C), it is
recommended that winter tires be
installed.
WINTER TIRES AND TIRE CHAINS
WINTER TIRES
WARNING: Always adhere to the tire
manufacturer’s instructions, paying
particular attention to the maximum speed
at which the vehicle can be driven and the
correct tire pressures.
CAUTION: Winter tires should not be
installed on the standard production
wheels installed on your Revero. The
installation of winter tires may cause
interference issues with chassis and body
components.
Karma Automotive has designed a winter
wheel and tire combination specifically for
your Revero. Please contact your local
Karma Service Provider for information on
how to purchase these wheels and tires.
Generally, winter tires have lower speed
ratings than factory equipped tires and
may not match the potential maximum
vehicle speed. Never exceed the maximum
speed rating of the tire.
If you install winter tires, they must be the
same size, brand, construction and tread
pattern for an axle pair (front and rear).
TIRE CHAINS
WARNING: Tire chains must only be
used in conjunction with the Karma
approved winter wheels and tires.
CAUTION: To avoid possible damage
to the vehicle, use only very low
profile tire cables instead of chains. The
largest style of tire chain that should be
used on the Revero is the Society of
Automotive Engineers (SAE) class "S."
Note:
Only install snow cables on the driven
axle (rear wheels).
Use of tire chains may be prohibited
according to location. Check the local laws
before installing tire chains.
Note:
Only the 21” tire packages have
clearance for tire chains. The 22” tire
packages do not have enough clearance
for chains.
When installing tire chains, make sure they
are the proper size for the tires on your
Revero and are installed according to the
chain manufacturer’s suggestions.
When using tire chains:
•
Drive at a reduced speed.
•
Avoid fully loading your vehicle as this
will reduce the clearance between the
body and the wheels.
•
Avoid tire/vehicle damage by removing
the tire chains as soon as the conditions
allow.
Contact your local Karma Service Provider
for a list of approved tire chains and
manufacturers.
