spare tire. Tire chains will not fit properly on the T-type spare tire and may cause damage to the vehicle. ¼ When driving on roads covered with snow or ice, the T-type spare tire should be used on the rear wheel and the original tire used on the front wheels (drive wheels). Use tire chains only on the front two original tires. ¼ Tire tread of the T-type spare tire will wear at a faster rate than the original tire. Replace the T-type spare tire as soon as the tread wear indicators appear. ¼ Because the T-type spare tire is smaller than the original tire, ground clearance is reduced. To avoid damage to the vehicle do not drive over obstacles. Also do not drive the vehicle through an automatic car wash since it may get caught. ¼ Do not use the T-type spare tire on other vehicles. ¼ Do not use more than one T-type spare tire at the same time. ¼ Do not tow a trailer while the T-type spare tire is installed.
