Jeep Wrangler: TIRES / Snow Traction Devices
Use of traction devices require sufficient
tire-to-body clearance. Due to limited clearance,
the following snow traction devices are
recommended. Follow these recommendations
to guard against damage.
- Snow traction device must be of proper size
for the tire, as recommended by the snow
traction device manufacturer.
- No other tire sizes are recommended for use
with the snow traction device.
- Please follow the table below for the recommended
tire size, axle and snow traction
device:
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!
To avoid damage to your vehicle or tires,
observe the following precautions:
- Because of restricted traction device clearance
between tires and other suspension
components, it is important that only traction
devices in good condition are used.
Broken devices can cause serious damage.
Stop the vehicle immediately if noise
occurs that could indicate device breakage.
Remove the damaged parts of the device
before further use.
- Install device as tightly as possible and
then retighten after driving about ½ mile
(0.8 km). Autosock traction devices do not
require retightening.
- Do not exceed 30 mph (48 km/h).
- Drive cautiously and avoid severe turns and
large bumps, especially with a loaded
vehicle.
- Do not drive for a prolonged period on dry
pavement.
- Observe the traction device manufacturer’s
instructions on the method of installation,
operating speed, and conditions for use.
Always use the suggested operating speed
of the device manufacturer’s if it is less
than 30 mph (48 km/h).
- Do not use traction devices on a compact
spare tire.
All wheels and wheel trim, especially aluminum
and chrome plated wheels, should be cleaned
regularly using mild (neutral Ph) soap and water
to maintain their luster and to prevent
corrosion...
The tires on the front and rear of your vehicle
operate at different loads and perform different
steering, handling, and braking functions. For
these reasons, they wear at unequal rates...
