Tire Chains - Chevrolet 2007 Express 2007 Express Owner's Manual

Tire Chains

CAUTION:
{
If your vehicle has dual wheels or
P245/75R16 or LT245/75R16 size tires,
do not use tire chains. They can damage
your vehicle because there is not enough
clearance. Tire chains used on a vehicle
without the proper amount of clearance
can cause damage to the brakes,
suspension, or other vehicle parts. The
area damaged by the tire chains could
cause you to lose control of your vehicle
and you or others may be injured in
a crash.
Use another type of traction device only
if its manufacturer recommends it for
use on your vehicle and tire size
combination and road conditions.
Follow that manufacturer's instructions.

CAUTION: (Continued)
To help avoid damage to your vehicle,
drive slowly, readjust, or remove the
device if it is contacting your vehicle,
and do not spin the vehicle's wheels.
If you do find traction devices that will fit,
install them on the rear tires.
Notice: If your vehicle does not have dual
wheels and has a tire size other than P245/
75R16 or LT245/75R16, use tire chains only
where legal and only when you must. Use
chains that are the proper size for your tires.
Install them on the tires of the rear axle. Do not
use chains on the tires of the front axle.
Tighten them as tightly as possible with the
ends securely fastened. Drive slowly and follow
the chain manufacturer's instructions. If you
can hear the chains contacting your vehicle,
stop and retighten them. If the contact
continues, slow down until it stops. Driving
too fast or spinning the wheels with chains
on will damage your vehicle.
