Improper alignment will not cause vehicle vibration.
Vibration may be a result of tire and wheel out-of-
balance. Proper balancing will reduce vibration and
avoid tire cupping and spotty wear.

TIRE CHAINS

Certain models have sufficient tire-to-body clearance to
allow use of tire chains. Install chains on rear tires only.
Follow these recommendations to guard against damage
and excessive tire and chain wear:

• Do not install tire chains or traction devices on ve-

hicles with larger than P235/65R17 size tires. Tires
larger than this may not provide sufficient body
clearance with chains or other traction devices.

• Use SAE class “S” tire chains or traction devices only.
• Follow tire chain manufacturer’s instructions for

mounting chains.

• Install chains snugly and tighten after 1/2 mile (1 km)

of driving.

• Do not exceed 35 mph (56 km/h), unless otherwise

specified by the chain manufacturer.

• Drive cautiously, avoiding large bumps, potholes and

extreme driving maneuvers.
