2000 Honda CR-V Owner's Manual - Page 227

Tires Tire Chains Mount snow chains on your vehicle when warranted by driving conditions or required by local laws. Use only SAE class "S" chains. Only certain brands of chains will fit your CR-V without coming in contact with the body or causing mechanical damage. Before buying any types of chains, you should consult with your Honda dealer about the designs and brands that will work on your CR-V. Also, make sure you purchase the correct size for your tires. Install the chains only on the front tires. Mounting any type of chains on the rear tires will damage the body and suspension. When installing the chains, follow the manufacturer's instructions and mount them as tightly as you can. Drive slowly when they are installed. If you hear them coming in contact with the body, stop and investigate them. Make sure the chains are installed tightly, and that they are not contacting the brake lines or suspension. Remove the chains as soon as you begin driving on cleared roads. NOTICE Chains that are the wrong size or design, or are improperly installed, can damage your vehicle's brake lines, suspension, body, and wheels. Stop driving if they are hitting any part of the vehicle. Maintenance
