WARNING!
Using tires of different size and type (M+S, Snow)
between front and rear axles can cause unpredict-
able handling. You could lose control and have a
collision.
CAUTION!
To avoid damage to your vehicle or tires, observe the
following precautions:
•
Because of restricted traction device clearance
between tires and other suspension components,
it is important that only traction devices in good
condition are used. Broken devices can cause seri-
ous damage. Stop the vehicle immediately if noise
occurs that could indicate device breakage.
Remove the damaged parts of the device before
further use.

•
Install device as tightly as possible and then
retighten after driving about ½ mile (0.8 km).
Autosock traction devices do not require
retightening.
•
Do not exceed 30 mph (48 km/h).
•
Drive cautiously and avoid severe turns and large
bumps, especially with a loaded vehicle.
•
Do not drive for a prolonged period on dry
pavement.
•
Observe the traction device manufacturer's
instructions on the method of installation, operat-
ing speed, and conditions for use. Always use the
suggested operating speed of the device manufac-
turer's if it is less than 30 mph (48 km/h).
•
Do not use traction devices on a compact spare
tire.

TIRE ROTATION
RECOMMENDATIONS
The tires on the front and rear of your vehicle operate
at different loads and perform different steering, han-
dling, and braking functions. For these reasons, they
wear at unequal rates.
These effects can be reduced by timely rotation of tires.
The benefits of rotation are especially worthwhile with
aggressive tread designs such as those on On/Off-Road
type tires. Rotation will increase tread life, help to main-
tain mud, snow, and wet traction levels, and contribute
to a smooth, quiet ride.
For the proper maintenance intervals
The reasons for any rapid or unusual wear should be
corrected prior to rotation being performed.
NOTE:
The Tire Pressure Monitor System will automatically
locate the pressure values displayed in the correct
vehicle position following a tire rotation.
The suggested rotation method is the "rearward cross"
shown in the following diagram.
