Tires

Snow Tires

If you mount snow tires on your

Acura, 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 car'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 car's

original equipment tires. You should
drive cautiously even when the roads

are clear. Check with the tire dealer

for maximum speed recommen-

dations.

Tire Chains
Because your Acura 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 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 begin

driving on cleared roads.

Cables that are the wrong size or
improperly installed can damage your

car's brake lines, suspension, body, and

wheels. Stop driving if they are hitting

any part of the car.
