TIRE CHAIN RESTRICTION DISCLOSURE

Vehicle (make, model, model year):_________________________________________
VIN:__________________________________________________________________
Tire and Wheel Size:_____________________________________________________
As equipped, this vehicle may not be operated with tire chains, but may accommodate some other type of tire
traction device. See Owner’s Manual for details.
The undersigned acknowledges that prior to signing a contract to buy or lease the subject new vehicle,
the undersigned read this disclosure and received a signed copy.

Date: __________________________
Buyer’s Name: _____________________________________________________________________________
Buyer’s Signature: __________________________________________________________________________

Application & models may change without notice.
Winter tires available for AudieBay logo vehicles may have a maximum speed rating that is lower than the potential
maximum speed of the vehicle. Never drive AudieBay logo vehicles at speeds that exceed the maximum speed rating of the
tires with which the vehicles are equipped. Always obey posted speed limits.
A NOTE ABOUT HIGH PERFORMANCE TIRES: These tires are designed for optimum performance and handling
in warm climates. They are not suitable for cold, snowy, or icy weather conditions. If you drive under those
circumstances, you should equip your vehicle with all-season or winter tires, because these tires offer better
traction under those conditions. We suggest you use the recommended winter or all-season tires specified for
your car. High-performance tires also have a lower aspect ratio that aid performance and handling; however, in
order to avoid tire, rim or vehicle damage, you must regularly check the inflation pressure and maintain proper
pressure levels as recommended in your owner's manual. Please also remember in making your selection that,
while these tires deliver responsible handling, they may ride less comfortably and make more noise than other
choices. Finally, these tires may wear more quickly than other choices. For further information on all these
topics, please consult the owner’s manual, your local authorized AudieBay logo dealer, or call 1-800-FOR-AUDIeBay logo.
