Buick Encore 2020-2025 Owner's Manual / Vehicle Care / Wheels and Tires / Tire Chains

Warning

Do not use tire chains. There is not enough clearance. Tire chains used on a vehicle without the proper amount of clearance can cause damage to the brakes, suspension, or other vehicle parts. The area damaged by the tire chains could cause loss of control and a crash.
