• Due to limited clearance, the following traction de-
vices are recommended:
– Front Wheel Drive (FWD) Models
– Original equipment P215/65R17, P225/ 60R18, or
P235/55R18 tire with a Security Chain Company
(SCC) Super Z6 low profile traction device or
equivalent.
– All Wheel Drive (AWD) Models
– Original equipment P235/55R19, 235/55R19 tire
with a S Class traction device or equivalent.
WARNING!
Using tires of different size and type (M+S, Snow)
between front and rear axles can cause unpredictable
handling. You could lose control and have a collision.
CAUTION!
Damage to the vehicle may result if tire chains are
used.
TIRE ROTATION RECOMMENDATIONS
Tires on the front and rear axles of vehicles operate at
different loads and perform different steering, driving,
and braking functions. For these reasons, they wear at
unequal rates.
These effects can be reduced by timely rotation of tires.
The benefits of rotation are especially worthwhile with
aggressive tread designs such as those on all season type
tires. Rotation will increase tread life, help to maintain
mud, snow and wet traction levels, and contribute to a
smooth, quiet ride.
