Tire Spinning; Tread Wear Indicators - Chrysler Town & Country 2016 Owner's Manual

Tire Spinning

When stuck in mud, sand, snow, or ice conditions, do not
spin your vehicle's wheels above 30 mph (48 km/h) or
for longer than 30 seconds continuously without stop-
ping.
Refer to "Freeing A Stuck Vehicle" in "What To Do In
Emergencies" for further information.
WARNING!
Fast spinning tires can be dangerous. Forces gener-
ated by excessive wheel speeds may cause tire dam-
age or failure. A tire could explode and injure some-
one. Do not spin your vehicle's wheels faster than
30 mph (48 km/h) for more than 30 seconds continu-
ously when you are stuck, and do not let anyone near
a spinning wheel, no matter what the speed.
