Alignment And Balance; Tire Chains - Jeep commander 2008 Owner's Manual

332 STARTING AND OPERATING
CAUTION!
Replacing original tires with tires of a different size
may result in false speedometer and odometer
readings.

Alignment And Balance

Poor suspension alignment may result in:
• Fast tire wear
• Uneven tire wear, such as feathering and one-sided
wear
• Vehicle pull to the left or right
Tires may also cause the vehicle to pull left or right.
Alignment will not correct this problem. See your autho-
rized dealer for proper diagnosis.
Improper alignment will not cause vehicle vibration.
Vibration may be a result of tire and wheel out-of-
balance. Proper balancing will reduce vibration and
avoid tire cupping and spotty wear.

TIRE CHAINS

Only models fitted with 235/65R17XL (extra load) tires
have sufficient tire-to-body clearance to allow use of tire
chains. Install chains on rear tires only. Follow these
recommendations to guard against damage and exces-
sive tire and chain wear:
• Do not install tire chains or traction devices on ve-
hicles with larger than 235/65R17XL size tires. Tires
larger than this may not provide sufficient body
clearance with chains or other traction devices.
• Manufacturer recommends a cold inflation pressure of
38 psi (262 kPa) when using 235/65R17XL size tires for
this vehicle.
