SNOW TIRES

Some areas of the country require the use of snow tires

during winter. Standard tires are of the all season type

and satisfy this requirement as indicated by the M+S

designation on the tire side wall.

If you need snow tires, select tires equivalent in size and

type to the original equipment tires. Use snow tires only

in sets of 4, failure to do so may adversely affect the

safety and handling of your vehicle.

Snow tires generally have lower speed ratings than what

was originally equipped with your vehicle and should

not be operated at sustained speeds over 75 mph (120

km/h).

Tire Rotation Recommendations

Tires on the front and rear axles of vehicles operate at

different loads and perform different steering, driving

and braking functions. For these reasons, they wear at

unequal rates, and tend to develop irregular wear pat-

terns.

These effects can be reduced by timely rotation of tires.

The benefits of rotation are especially worthwhile with

aggressive tread designs such as those on all season type

tires. Rotation will increase tread life, help to maintain

mud, snow and wet traction levels, and contribute to a

smooth, quiet ride.
