Follow these recommendations to guard against damage. • Traction device must be of proper size for the tire, as recommended by the traction device manufacturer. • Install on Rear Tires Only. • Due to limited clearance for a Rear Wheel Drive (RWD) vehicle, on 235/55R18 100V and P235/55R18 99V tires, reduced size snow chains or traction devices with a maximum projection of 6 mm beyond the tire profile is recommended. • Due to limited clearance for an All Wheel Drive (AWD) vehicle, P235/55R19 tire with the use of a traction device that meets the SAE type "Class S" specification is recommended. • No other tire sizes are recommended for use with a tire chain or traction device.
