Tires Winter Driving Tires that are marked ''M S'' or ''All Season'' on the sidewall have an all-weather tread design. They should be suitable for most winter driving conditions. Tires without these markings are designed for optimum traction in dry conditions. They may not provide adequate performance in winter driving. For the best performance in snowy or icy conditions, you should install snow tires or tire chains. They may be required by local laws under certain conditions. Snow Tires Tire Chains If you mount snow tires on your Honda, make sure they are radial tires of the same size and load range as the original tires. Mount snow tires on all four wheels to balance your car's handling in all weather conditions. Keep in mind the traction provided by snow tires on dry roads may not be as high as your car's original equipment tires. You should drive cautiously even when the roads are clear. Check with the tire dealer for maximum speed recommendations. Mount snow chains on your tires when required by driving conditions or local laws. Install them only on the front tires. Because your car has limited tire clearance, Honda strongly recommends using the chains listed below, made by Security Chain Company (SCC).
