Warning
Using bias-ply tyres on the
vehicle may cause the wheel rim
flanges to develop cracks after
many miles of driving. A tyre
and/or wheel could fail suddenly
and cause a crash. Use only
radial-ply tyres with the wheels
on the vehicle.
Winter tyres with the same speed
rating as the original equipment
tyres may not be available for H,
V, W, Y and ZR speed rated tyres.
Never exceed the winter tyre's
maximum speed capability when
using winter tyres with a lower
speed rating.
If the vehicle tyres must be
replaced with a tyre that does not
have a TPC Spec number, make
sure they are the same size, load
range, speed rating, and
construction (radial) as the
original tyres.
Vehicles that have a tyre pressure
monitoring system could give an
inaccurate low-pressure warning if
non-TPC Spec rated tyres are
installed. See
The Tyre and Loading Information
label indicates the original
equipment tyres on the vehicle.
See
, for
the label location and more
information about the Tyre and
Loading Information label.
Different Size Tyres and
Wheels
If wheels or tyres are installed that are
a different size than the original
equipment wheels and tyres, vehicle
performance, including its braking,
ride and handling characteristics,
stability, and resistance to rollover
may be affected. If the vehicle has
electronic systems such as antilock
brakes, rollover airbags, traction
control, electronic stability control,
or All-Wheel Drive, the performance
of these systems can also be affected.
{
Warning
If different sized wheels are used,
there may not be an acceptable
level of performance and safety if
tyres not recommended for those
wheels are selected. This increases
the chance of a crash and serious
injury. Only use GM specific wheel
and tyre systems developed for the
vehicle, and have them properly
installed by a GM certified
technician.

Wheel Alignment and Tyre
Balance
The tyres and wheels were aligned and
balanced at the factory to provide the
longest tyre life and best overall
performance. Adjustments to wheel
alignment and tyre balancing are not
