Toyota HILUX 2008 User Manual

Installing snow tires and
chains
WHEN TO USE SNOW TIRES OR
CHAINS
Snow tires or chains are recommended
when driving on snow or ice.
On wet or dry roads, conventional tires
provide better traction than snow tires.
SNOW TIRE SELECTION
If you need snow tires, select tires of
the same size, construction and load
capacity as the originally installed tires.
Also, on four-wheel drive models, all
the tires must be the same brand and
have the same tread patterns.
Do not use tires other than those men-
tioned above. Do not install studded tires
without first checking local regulations for
possible restrictions.

& CAUTION
Observe the following instructions.
Otherwise, an accident may occur re-
sulting in death or serious injuries.
• Do not use snow tires other than
the manufacturer's recommended si-
ze, as this may cause dangerous
handling characteristics resulting in
loss of control.
• Four-wheel drive models:
Do not use snow tires of different
brands, sizes, construction or tread
patterns, as this may cause danger-
ous handling characteristics result-
ing in loss of control.
SNOW TIRE INSTALLATION
Snow tires should be installed on all
wheels.
Installing snow tires on the rear wheels
only can lead
to an excessive difference
in road grip capability between the front
and rear tires which could cause loss of
vehicle control.
When storing removed tires, you should
store them in a cool dry place.
Mark the direction of rotation and be sure
to install them in the same
direction when
replacing.
& CAUTION
• Do not drive with the snow tires
incorrectly inflated .
•
Observe permissible maximum
speed for your snow tires and the
legal speed limit.
