Winter Tyres

Because of the limited qualification
for limited use of summer tyres we
recommend the use of winter tyres
(M S tyres) on snowy and icy roads. ＋
If M S tyres are installed, all 4
＋
wheels should be equipped to insure
safe driving. Use only tyres of the
same brand with the same profile.
Pay attention to the tyre size, load
capacity and speed class when
buying.

Maintenance
On European models
Install the winter tyres according to
the remarks in the registration paper.
According to EEC Directive of the
tyre, when winter tyres are used, it is
necessary to affix a sticker with the
allowable max. speed of the winter
tyres clearly in the field of view of
the driver, if max. design speed of
vehicle is higher than allowed max.
speed of winter tyre. A sticker is
obtainable from your tyre dealer. If
any questions arise, please discuss
these with one of our Honda dealers.

Tyre Chains

Use snow chains only in an emer-
gency or when they are legally
required for driving through a
certain area. Install the snow chains
on the front wheels. Use greater
caution when driving with snow
chains on snow or ice. They may
have less-predictable handling than
good winter tyres without chains.
Some snow chains may damage the
vehicle's tyres, wheels, suspension
and body. Choose only fine limbed
chains which guarantee enough free
space between the tyre and the other
vehicle parts in the wheelhouse. Pay
attention to the sectional assembly
view and other directions from the
chain manufacturer. Consult your
dealer before purchasing any type of
chains for your Honda.
