Snow
Tires
If
you mount snow tires on your
Honda, make sure they are radial
tires of the same size and load range
as
the
original tires. Mount snow
tires on
all
four wheels to balance
your vehicle's handling in all weather
conditions. Keep
in
mind the traction
provided by snow tires on dry roads
may not be as high as your vehicle's
original equipment tires. You should
drive cautiously even when the roads
are clear. Check with the tire dealer
for maximum speed recommenda-
tions.
Tire Chains
Because your Honda has limited tire
clearance, mount only
SAE Class
"S"
cable-type traction devices on the
rear tires.
Use traction devices only
when required by driving conditions
or local laws. Make sure they are the
correct size for your tires.
Metal link-type
"chains" should not
be used.
No
matter how tight they
seem to be installed, they can come
into contact with the body and
suspension, causing serious damage.
When installing
the
cables, follow
the manufacturer's instructions and
mount
them
as tightly as you can.
Drive slowly with them installed.
If
you
hear
them
coming
in
contact
with the body or chassis, stop and
investigate. Make sure the cables are
installed tightly, and
that
they are
not contacting the brake lines
or
suspension. Remove
them
as soon as
you start driving on cleared roads.
Tires
NOTICE
Cables that are the wrong size
or
improperly installed can damage your ·
car's brake lines, suspension, body,
and
wheels. Stop driving
(l
they are hitting
any part
of
the car.
