Tires – Acura 2008 RL User Manual

Page 430

Tires marked ‘‘M

S’’ or ‘‘All

Season’’ on the sidewall have an all-
weather tread design suitable for
most winter driving conditions.

For the best performance in snowy
or icy conditions, you should install
snow tires or tire chains. They may
be required by local laws under
certain conditions.

If you mount snow tires on your
vehicle, make sure they are radial
tires of the same size and load range
as the original tires. Mount snow
tires on all four wheels. The traction
provided by snow tires on dry roads
may be lower than your original tires.
Check with the tire dealer for
maximum speed recommendations.

for DOT tire quality

grading information, and page

for tire size explanation.

It is best to replace all four tires at
the same time. If that is not possible
or necessary, replace the two front
tires or two rear tires as a pair.
Replacing just one tire can seriously
affect your vehicle’s handling.

If you ever need to replace a wheel,
make sure the wheel’s specifications
match those of the original wheel
that came on your vehicle.
Replacement wheels are available at
your Acura dealer.

There are no snow tires compatible
with the PAX system.

Installing improper tires on your
vehicle can affect handling and
stability. This can cause a crash
in which you can be seriously
hurt or killed.

Always use the size and type of
tires recommended in this
owner’s manual.
