Tire Chains
NOTICE:
Use tire chains only where legal and only when you must. Use
only
SAE Class ‘(S” type chains that are the proper size for your
tires. Install them on the front tires and 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 your 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 your vehicle.
