Good to Know
Caution
- Use chains only where the applicable vehicle manual permits them and only on rear wheels. A four-tire purchase option does not permit installation on all four wheels.
- Do not substitute a front tire size for a different rear tire size. The 255/35ZR21 selection is not a 275/35R21 rear tire specification.
- Remove chains on bare pavement.
