140 STARTING AND OPERATING Tire Spinning When stuck in mud, sand, snow, or ice conditions, do not spin your vehicle's wheels above 30 mph. (48 km/h). See the paragraph on Freeing A Stuck Vehicle in section 6 of this manual. CAUTION! Damage to the vehicle may result if tire chains are used. Snow Tires Some areas of the country require the use of snow tires during winter. Standard tires are of the all season type and satisfy this requirement as indicated by the M+S designation on the tire sidewall. If you need snow tires, see the tire pressure label for size(s) and inflation pressure(s). Snow tires may have a lower speed rating than factory equipped tires and may not match the maximum vehicle speed. Snow tires should not be operated at sustained speeds over 75 mph (120 km/h). WARNING! Fast spinning tires can be dangerous. Forces generated by excessive wheel speeds may cause tire damage or failure. A tire could explode and injure someone. Do not spin your vehicle's wheels faster than 30 mph (48 km/h) when you are stuck. And don't let anyone near a spinning wheel, no matter what the speed. Tire Chains Due to limited clearance, tire chains are not recommended.
