Tires (cont'd)
Tire Chains
When required, tire chains should be installed on the front wheels. If
you are using metal type chains, make sure they are designated SAE
Class " S " . You may also use plastic or cable type "chains". Use
only the correct size chains recommended for your tire size and
make sure they are installed following the chain manufacturer's
instructions.
Once tire chains are installed, drive at less than 19 mph (30km/h) on
roads covered with snow or ice. To minimize tire and chain wear,
avoid driving on cleared roads with chains installed.
CAUTION:
Improper installation or loose tire chains may damage your car's
chassis and fenders.
NOTE:
Keep the manufacturer's installation instructions in your glove box
for future reference.
Tire Balancing
Unbalanced tires may affect handling and tire wear. A tire should
always be rebalanced after it has been dismounted from the wheel.
Your original tires were properly balanced before the car left the
factory, but may need rebalancing at some time during the life of the
tire. Tire balancing for the COMPACT spare is not necessary.
CAUTION:
Use only genuine Honda aluminum wheel weights if your car is
equipped with aluminum wheels. Non-genuine Honda wheel
weights may corrode and damage the aluminum wheel.
Tire Rotation
Tires may wear unevenly when used for a long time at the same
position on the car. To avoid this, rotate the tires every 7,500 miles
(12,000 km). If abnormal or uneven wear develops between
rotations, the cause should be found and corrected as soon as
possible. The illustration shows how the tires can be rotated. The
COMPACT spare tire must not be included in tire rotation.
