Tires
It is best to replace all four tires at
the same time. If that is not possible
or necessary, then replace the two
front tires or the two rear tires as a
pair. Replacing just one tire can
seriously affect your car's handling.
The ABS works by comparing the
speed of the wheels. When replacing
tires, use the same size originally
supplied with the car. Tire size and
construction can affect wheel speed
and may cause the system to work
inconsistently
If you ever need to replace a wheel,
make sure the wheel's specifications
match those of the original wheel
that came on your car. Replacement
wheels are available at your Acura
dealer.

Winter Tires
You should mount winter tires on
your NSX before winter starts (be-
fore consistent sub-freezing tempera-
tures) . Change back to "summer"
tires after winter weather has
stopped.
Use winter tires on all four wheels.
The performance capabilities of the
winter tires may not be the same as
your car's original-equipment tires.
Check with the tire dealer for maxi-
mum speed recommendations.
Tire Chains
Mount snow chains on your car when
warranted by driving conditions or
required by local laws. Make sure the
232
for
chains are the correct size for your
tires. Use greater caution when
driving with snow chains on snow or
ice. They may have less-predictable
handling than good winter tires
without chains. Some snow chains
may damage the car's tires, wheels,
suspension and body. Consult your
Acura dealer before purchasing any
type of chains for your NSX.
