TIRE CHAINS
Use only compact chains or other traction aids that meet
SAE type “Class S” specifications. Chains must be the
proper size for the vehicle, as recommended by the chain
manufacturer. In addition, only install tire chains on
P215/65 R17 and P225/60 R18 size tires. The P245/45
R20 size tires do not provide adequate clearance for tire
chains.
NOTE: Do not use tire chains on a compact spare tire.

parts of the chain before further use.
