Tires

Snow Tires

If you mount snow tires on your

Honda, 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 vehicle'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 vehicle's
original equipment tires. You should
drive cautiously even when the roads
are clear. Check with the tire dealer
for maximum speed recommenda-
tions.

Tire Chains

Because your Honda has limited tire
clearance, mount only SAE Class "S"
cable-type traction devices on the

front 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.

Traction devices that are the wrong

size or improperly installed can

damage your vehicle's brake lines,
suspension, body, and wheels. Stop

driving if they are hitting any part of
the vehicle.
