Maintenance and care SNOW TIRES AND CHAINS Snow tires must be the same size and grade as the tires you currently have on your vehicle. The tires on your vehicle have allĆweather treads to provide traction in rain and snow. However, in some climates, you may need to use snow tires and chains. If you need to use chains, it is recommended that steel wheels (of the same size and specifications) be used as chains may chip aluminum wheels. Vehicles with AdvanceTracT (if equipped) may exhibit some unusual driving characteristics, when using snow chains, which can be avoided by switching AdvanceTracT off. Follow these guidelines when using snow tires and chains: Snow chains should only be fitted to size P 185/65 R14 tires. Snow chains should never be used on the spare tire. 224
