*Clearance Required -Check your vehicles owner's manual under "snow chains" or "tire chains" for your specific vehicle tire chain clearance requirements. Some vehicles may have limited clearance between the suspension, body and tire. If there is a clearance issue, the owner's manual may state one or more of the following: do not use chains, use type S tire chains, a specific style of snow chains, and where to put the tire chains on front or rear axle.

**The above recommendations are general tire chains use guidelines.
****Tire Socks and Polyurethane/Plastic types may not be considered a legal traction aid in some states when "Tire Chains are Required"
and are therefore not sold by TireChain.com.

Specific vehicle and use recommendations are the vehicle owner's responsibility.
