Snow Tires

Your vehicle is equipped with all-season
tires which are designed for use in summer
and most winter conditions. For improved
traction in severe
SUZUKI recommends mounting radial
snow tires on all four wheels. Snow tires
must be the same size as the standard
tires. Also be sure to use the tires of the
same type and brand on all four wheels of
your vehicle.
