Toyota Yaris: 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.
Do not use tires other than those mentioned above. Do not install studded tires without first checking local regulations for possible restrictions.
CAUTION.
Do not use snow tires other than the manufacturer’s recommended size, as this may cause dangerous handling characteristics resulting in loss of control. Otherwise, an accident may occur resulting in death or serious injuries.
SNOW TIRE INSTALLATION
Snow tires should be installed on all wheels.
Installing snow tires on the front 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.
Never drive over 120 km/h (75 mph) with any type of snow tires.
TIRE CHAIN SELECTION
Use the tire chains of correct size and type.
Use SAE Class “S” type radial tire chains except radial cable chains or V-bar type chains.
Regulations regarding the use of tire chains vary according to location or type of road, so always check local regulations before installing chains.
CHAIN INSTALLATION
Install the chains on the front tires as tightly as possible. Do not use tire chains on the rear tires. Retighten chains after driving 0.5—1.0 km (1/4—1/2 mile).
When installing chains on your tires, carefully follow the instructions of the chain manufacturer.
If wheel covers are used, they will be scratched by the chain band, so remove the covers before putting on the chains.
CAUTION.
Do not exceed 50 km/h (30 mph) or the chain manufacturer’s recommended speed limit, whichever is lower.
Drive carefully avoiding bumps, holes, and sharp turns, which may cause the vehicle to bounce.
Avoid sharp turns or locked-wheel braking, as use of chains may adversely affect vehicle handling.
When driving with chains installed, be sure to drive carefully. Slow down before entering curves to avoid losing control of the vehicle.
Otherwise an accident may occur.
NOTICE.
Do not attempt to use a tire chain on the compact spare tire, as it may result in damage to the vehicle as well as the tire.
Rotating tires
To equalize the wear and help extend tire life, Toyota recommends that you
rotate your tires according to the maintenance schedule.
