Tires
Your new vehicle comes with high-quality tires
made by a leading tire manufacturer. If you ever
have questions about your tire warranty and where
to obtain service, see your GM Warranty booklet
for details. For additional information refer to
the tire manufacturer’s booklet included with your
vehicle.

CAUTION:
•
Poorly maintained and improperly
used tires are dangerous.
•
Overloading your tires can cause
overheating as a result of too much
friction. You could have an air-out and
a serious accident. See
Loading Your
Vehicle on page 372 .

CAUTION: (Continued)
•
Underinflated tires pose the same
danger as overloaded tires. The
resulting accident could cause serious
injury. Check all tires frequently to
maintain the recommended pressure.
Tire pressure should be checked when
your tires are cold. See
Inflation - Tire
Pressure on page 460 .
•
Overinflated tires are more likely to be
cut, punctured, or broken by a sudden
impact — such as when you hit a
pothole. Keep tires at the
recommended pressure.
•
Worn, old tires can cause accidents.
If your tread is badly worn, or if
your tires have been damaged,
replace them.
See High-Speed Operation on page 462 for
inflation pressure adjustment for high
speed driving.
