Tire Types
All Season Tires — If Equipped
All season tires provide traction for all seasons (Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter).
Traction levels may vary between different all season tires. All season tires can be
identified by the M+S, M&S, M/S or MS designation on the tire sidewall. Use all
season tires only in sets of four; failure to do so may adversely affect the safety and
handling of your vehicle.
Summer Or Three Season Tires — If Equipped
Summer tires provide traction in both wet and dry conditions, and are not intended
to be driven in snow or on ice. If your vehicle is equipped with Summer tires, be aware
these tires are not designed for Winter or cold driving conditions. Install Winter tires
on your vehicle when ambient temperatures are less than 40°F (5°C) or if roads are
covered with ice or snow. For more information, contact an authorized dealer.
Summer tires do not contain the all season designation or mountain/snowflake
symbol on the tire sidewall. Use Summer tires only in sets of four; failure to do so may
adversely affect the safety and handling of your vehicle.
WARNING!
Do not use Summer tires in snow/ice conditions. You could lose vehicle control,
resulting in severe injury or death. Driving too fast for conditions also creates the
possibility of loss of vehicle control.
Snow Tires
Some areas of the country require the use of snow tires during the Winter. Snow tires
can be identified by a “mountain/snowflake” symbol on the tire sidewall.
If you need snow tires, select tires equivalent in size and type to
the original equipment tires. Use snow tires only in sets of four;
failure to do so may adversely affect the safety and handling of
your vehicle.
Snow tires generally have lower speed ratings than what was
originally equipped with your vehicle and should not be operated
at sustained speeds over 75 mph (120 km/h). For speeds above 75 mph (120 km/h),
refer to original equipment or an authorized tire dealer for recommended safe
operating speeds, loading and cold tire inflation pressures.
While studded tires improve performance on ice, skid and traction capability on wet
or dry surfaces may be poorer than that of non-studded tires. Some states prohibit
studded tires; therefore, local laws should be checked before using these tire types.
