Snow Tires - Honda 1992 Accord Wagon Owner's Manual

Tires (cont'd)
Winter Driving
Tires marked "M+S" or "all season" have an all-weather tread design
and should be suitable for most driving conditions. However, snow
tires and tire chains may be required under some conditions. If your
tires do not have these markings, they may not be suitable for winter
driving conditions. We recommend snow tires or tire chains for snow
and icy conditions.

Snow Tires

If you use snow tires, they should be of the same size, construction and
load capacity as the original tires on your car. Snow tires must be in-
stalled in sets of four, or they may cause poor handling. Driving with
snow tires on dry roads can reduce your car's performance during ac-
celeration, turning and stopping. If you need further information on
snow tires, please contact your Honda dealer.
Tire Chains
Use chains only when conditions require them. Check with local au-
thorities for requirements prior to installing tire chains. Make sure
the chains are the right size for your tires. Install them only on the
drive wheels of your car, and do so as tightly as possible, following the
manufacturer's instructions. If metal chains are used, they must be
SAE Class "S." Cable type traction devices can also be used. Drive
slowly with chains installed. If you hear the chains contacting your
car's body or chassis, stop and tighten them.
CAUTION:
If the contact continues, slow down until it stops or your car can
be damaged.
Chains that are the wrong size or improperly installed can
damage your car's brake lines, suspension, body, and wheels.
If you need further information on tire chains, please see your Honda
dealer.
Remove the chains as soon as the road is clear of ice and snow.
