03 07.07 SNOW TIRE INSTALLATION Snow tires should be installed on all wheels. Installing snow tires on the front wheels only can lead to an excessive difference in road grip capability between the front and rear tires which could cause loss of vehicle control. When storing removed tires you should store them in a cool dry place. Mark the direction of rotation and be sure to install them in the same direction when replacing. For vehicle equipped without Sports Fender and Rocker Panel for 175/65R14 and 185/60R15 tires, use SAE Class "S" type radial tire chains except radial cable chains or V- bar type chains. SH72005 Regulations regarding the use of tire chains vary according to location or type of road, so always check the local regulations before installing chains. CHAIN INSTALLATION Install the chains on the front tires as tightly as possible. Do not use tire chains on the rear tires. Retighten chains after driving 0.5-1.0 km (1/4-1/2 mile). When installing chains on your tires, carefully follow the instructions of the chain manufacturer. If wheel covers are used, they will be scratched by the chain band, so remove the covers before putting on the chains. Vehicle equipped with Sports Fender and Rocker Panel for 185/60R15 tires CAUTION D Do not drive with the snow tires incorrectly inflated. TIRE CHAIN SELECTION Use the tire chains of correct size and type. For vehicle equipped with Sports Fender and Rocker Panel for 185/60R15 tires, use the following type chains.
