TYPES OF TIRES s11av01
You should be familiar with type of tires present on your vehicle.
The factory-installed tires on your new vehicle are all season tires.
All season tires s11av0101
All season tires are designed to provide an adequate measure of traction, handling and braking performance in yearround driving including snowy and icy road conditions. However, all season tires do not offer as much traction performance as winter( snow) tires in heavy or loose snow or on icy roads.
All season tires are identified by“ ALL SEASON” and / or“ M + S”( Mud & Snow) on the tire sidewall.
Summer tires s11av0102
Summer tires are high-speed capability tires best suited for highway driving under dry conditions.
Summer tires are inadequate for driving on slippery roads such as on snowcovered or icy roads.
If you drive your vehicle on snow-covered or icy roads, we strongly recommend the use of winter( snow) tires.
When installing winter tires, be sure to replace all four tires.
Winter( snow) tires s11av0103
Winter tires are best suited for driving on snow-covered and icy roads. However, winter tires do not perform as well as summer tires and all season tires on roads other than snow-covered and icy roads.
