Snow tires, studded tires
Tires for winter use:
• Owners who live in or regularly commute
through areas with sustained periods of
snow or icy driving conditions are strongly
advised to fit suitable winter tires to help
retain the highest degree of traction.
• It is important to install winter tires on all
four wheels to help retain traction during
cornering, braking, and accelerating. Failure
to do so could reduce traction to an
unsafe level or adversely affect handling.
• Do not mix tires of different design as this
could also negatively affect overall tire road
grip.
• Winter tires wear more quickly on dry roads
in warm weather. They should be removed
when the winter driving season has ended.
• Studded tires should be run-in
300-600 miles (500-1000 km) during which
the vehicle should be driven as smoothly
as possible to give the studs the opportunity
to seat properly in the tires. The tires
should have the same rotational direction
throughout their entire lifetime.
NOTE
Please consult state or provincial regulations
restricting the use of studded winter
tires before installing such tires.
