2. Summer tires

Summer tires are high−speed capabil-
ity tires best suited to highway driving
under dry conditions.
Since summer tires do not have the
same traction performance as snow
tires, summer tires are inadequate for
driving on snow−covered or icy roads.
For driving on snow−covered or icy
roads, we recommend using snow
tires. If installing snow tires, be sure
to replace all four tires.
The details about how to distinguish
summer tires from all season tires are
described on page 334.

son tires on your vehicle as
this can cause dangerous han-
dling characteristics, resulting
in loss of control.
" Do not use tire other than the
manufacturer's designated
tires, and never mix tires or
wheels of the sizes different
from the originally equipped
tires and wheels.
