These cautions apply to all chain traction devices, includ-
ing link and cable (radial) chains.
Tire chain use is permitted only on the rear tires of your
truck.
NOTE: The use of class “S” chains is permitted on your
vehicle with P245/70R17 tires.
CAUTION!
Do not use tire chains on 4x4 trucks equipped with
tires other than P245/70R17 tires. There may not be
adequate clearance for the chains and you are risking
structural or body damage to your vehicle. Do not use
tire chains on the 4X2 front wheels of your vehicle.
There may not be adequate clearance for the chains
and you are risking structural or body damage to
your vehicle.
SNOW TIRES
Snow tires should be of the same size and type construc-
tion as the front tires. Consult the manufacturer of the
snow tire to determine any maximum vehicle speed
requirement associated with the tire. These tires should
always be operated at the vehicle maximum capacity
inflation pressures under any load condition.
While studded tires improve performance on ice, skid
and traction capability on wet or dry surfaces may be
poorer than that of non-studded tires. Some states pro-
hibit studded tires; therefore, local laws should be
checked before using these tire types.
