CAUTION!
To avoid damage to your vehicle, tires, or chains,
observe the following precautions:
• Do not use tire chains on vehicles equipped with
tires other than P225/75R16 or smaller tires. There
may not be adequate clearance for the chains and
you are risking structural or body damage to your
vehicle.
• Because of limited chain clearance between tires
and other suspension components, it is important
that only chains in good condition are used. Bro-
ken chains can cause serious vehicle damage. Stop
the vehicle immediately if noise occurs that could
suggest chain breakage. Remove the damaged
parts of the chain before further use.
• Install chains on the rear wheels as tightly as
possible and then retighten after driving about
mile (0.8 km).
• Do not exceed 45 mph (72 km/h).
• Drive cautiously and avoid severe turns and large
bumps, especially with a loaded vehicle.
• Use on Rear Wheels only.
• Do not drive for a prolonged period on dry pave-
ment.
• Observe the tire chain manufacturer's instructions
on method of installation, operating speed, and
conditions for use. Always use the lower sug-
gested operating speed of the chain manufacturer
if different from the speed recommended by the
manufacturer.
