Driving your vehicle
Tire chains
Since the sidewalls on some radial
tires are thinner than other types of
tires, they may be damaged by
mounting certain types of tire chains
on them. Do not mount tire chains on
vehicles equipped with aluminum
wheels; if unavoidable use AutoSock
®
(fabric snow chain or similar). Install
the tire chain after reviewing the
instructions provided with the tire
chains. Damage to your vehicle
caused by improper tire chain use is
not covered by your vehicle manu-
facturer’s warranty.
AutoSock
®
is a Registered trade-
mark of AutoSock.
Information
• Install AutoSock
®
(fabric snow
chain) on the rear tires. It should be
noted that installing AutoSock
®
(fabric snow chain) on the tires will
provide a greater driving force, but
will not prevent side skids.
• Do not install studded tires without
first checking local, state and
municipal regulations for possible
restrictions against their use.
