CAUTION! (Continued)
• 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.
These cautions apply to all chain traction devices, includ-
ing link and cable (radial) chains.

TIRE ROTATION RECOMMENDATIONS

2
The tires on the front and rear of your vehicle operate at
different loads and perform different steering, handling,
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.
Refer to the "Maintenance Schedule" for the proper
maintenance intervals. The reasons for any rapid or
unusual wear should be corrected prior to rotation being
performed.
