Tire Chains - GMC 2007 Yukon XL Owner's Manual

Tire Chains

CAUTION:
{
If your vehicle has P265/65R18 or
P275/55R20 size tires, do not use tire
chains. They can damage your vehicle
because there is not enough clearance.
Tire chains used on a vehicle without the
proper amount of clearance can cause
damage to the brakes, suspension, or
other vehicle parts. The area damaged by
the tire chains could cause you to lose
control of your vehicle and you or others
may be injured in a crash.
Use another type of traction device only if
its manufacturer recommends it for use
on your vehicle and tire size combination
and road conditions. Follow that
manufacturer's instructions.

CAUTION: (Continued)
To help avoid damage to your vehicle,
drive slowly, readjust or remove the
device if it is contacting your vehicle, and
do not spin your vehicle's wheels.
If you do find traction devices that will fit,
install them on the rear tires.
Notice: If your vehicle has P265/70R17 size
tires, use tire chains only where legal and only
when you must. Use chains that are the
proper size for your vehicle's tires. Install them
on the rear tires only.
Do not use chains on the front tires.
Tighten them as tightly as possible with the
ends securely fastened. Drive slowly and follow
the chain manufacturer's instructions. If you
can hear the chains contacting your vehicle,
stop and retighten them. If the contact
continues, slow down until it stops. Driving
too fast or spinning the wheels with chains on
will damage your vehicle.
