Winter Driving
Tires marked ''M
＋
S'' or ''All
Season'' on the sidewall have an all-
weather tread design suitable for
most winter driving conditions.
For the best performance in snowy
or icy conditions, you should install
snow tires or tire chains. They may
be required by local laws under
certain conditions.
Snow Tires
If you mount snow tires on your
vehicle, make sure they are radial
tires of the same size and load range
as original tires. Mount snow tires on
all four wheels. The traction
provided by snow tires on dry roads
may be lower than your original tires.
Check with the tire dealer for
maximum speed recommendations.
Tire Chains
Mount tire chains on your tires when
required by driving conditions or
local laws. Install them only on the
front tires.
Because your vehicle has limited tire
clearance, Honda strongly
recommends using the chains listed
below.
All except U.S. Touring models
Link-type: SCC Quick Grip QG1142
Cable-type: SCC SC Cable SC1042
U.S. Touring model
Link-type: Laclede

Tire chains cannot be used with a
flat front tire. If a front tire goes flat
when a tire chain is installed on it,
remove the chain, and follow the
precautions described under
Michelin PAX System (see page
362
).
These chains are the only ones that
have been approved by Honda for
use on your vehicle. Since Honda
cannot test all chains, you must be
personally responsible for proper
selection, installation, and use of tire
chains.
The chains listed here are available
at many auto supply stores. For a
complete list of stores, visit the SCC
website at www.scc-chain.com.
When installing chains, follow the
manufacturer's instructions, and
mount them as tightly as you can.
Drive slowly with chains installed.
