Tire Chains
{
Warning
If the vehicle has LT275/65R18,
275/60R20, LT275/65R20, or 275/
50R22 size tires, do not use tire
chains. If the vehicle is a 1500
Series with LT265/70R17 size
tires, do not use tire chains. They
can damage the vehicle because
there is not enough clearance.
Tire chains used on a vehicle
without the proper amount of
clearance can cause damage to
the brakes, suspension, or other
vehicle parts. The area damaged
by the tire chains could cause you
to lose control of the vehicle, and
you or others may be injured in a
crash.
Use another type of traction
device only if its manufacturer
recommends it for use on the
vehicle's tire size combination
and road conditions. Follow that

manufacturer's instructions. To
help avoid damage to the vehicle,
drive slowly, readjust, or remove
the device if it is contacting the
vehicle, and do not spin the
vehicle's wheels.
If you do find traction devices that
will fit, install them on the rear
tires.
Caution
Use tire chains only where legal
and only when necessary. Use
chains that are the proper size for
the tires. If the vehicle has 265/
70R17 or 265/65R18 size tires,
they may be installed on the tires
of the rear axle only. If the vehicle
is a dual rear wheel model and
has LT235/80R17 tires, chains
may be installed on the tires of
the rear axle only. If the vehicle

has 255/70R17, LT245/75R17,
or LT275/70R18 size tires, they
may be installed on the tires of
the front and rear axle. If the
vehicle is a 2500 Series with
LT265/70R17 size tires, chains
may be installed on the tires of
both the front and rear axle.
Tighten them as tightly as
possible with the ends securely
fastened. Drive slowly and follow
the chain manufacturer's
instructions. If you can hear the
chains contacting the vehicle,
stop and retighten them. If the
contact continues, slow down
until it stops. Driving too fast or
spinning the wheels with chains
on will damage the vehicle.
If a Tire Goes Flat
It is unusual for a tire to blowout
while driving, especially if the tires
are maintained properly. If air goes
out of a tire, it is much more likely to
