Summer tires
Summer tires are used to maximize
the driving performance on dry roads.
If the temperature is below 44°F (7°C)
or you are driving on snowy or icy
roads, the summer tires lose their
brake performance and traction as the
tire grip weakens significantly.
If the temperature is below 44°F
(7°C) or you are driving on snowy or
icy roads, mount snow tires or all-
season tires of the same size with your
vehicle's standard tire for safe driving.
Both snow and all-season tires have
M+S markings.
When using the M+S tires, use tires
with the same tread produced by the
same manufacturer for safe driving.
When driving with the M+S tires with
the lower maximum allowable speed
than that of the vehicle's standard
summer tire, be careful not to exceed
the speed allowed for the M+S tires.
Tire chains
Since the sidewalls of radial tires are
thinner than other types of tires, they
may be damaged by mounting some
types of tire chains on them. Therefore,
the use of snow tires is recommended
instead of tire chains. Do not mount
tire chains on vehicles equipped with
aluminum wheels; if possible use a
wire type chain. If snow chains must
be used, use wire-type chains with a
thickness of less than 0.47 inch (12 mm).
and install the tire chain after reviewing
the instructions provided with the tire
chains. Damage to your vehicle caused
by improper tire chain use is not covered
by your vehicle manufacturer's warranty.
