Vehicle Care
10-45
The rubber in tyres ages over time.
Multiple factors including
temperatures, loading conditions,
and inflation pressure maintenance
affect how fast aging takes place.
GM recommends that tyres be
replaced no later than every
6 years, or more often as required.
Vehicle Storage
Tyres age when stored normally
mounted on a parked vehicle. Park
a vehicle that will be stored for at
least a month in a cool, dry, clean
area away from direct sunlight to
slow aging. This area should be free
of grease, petrol, or other
substances that can deteriorate
rubber.
Parking for an extended period can
cause flat spots on the tyres that
may result in vibrations while
driving. When storing a vehicle for
at least a month, remove the tyres
or raise the vehicle to reduce the
weight from the tyres.
Buying New Tyres
GM has developed and matched
specific tyres for the vehicle.
GM recommends replacing worn
tyres in complete sets of four.
Uniform tread depth on all tyres
will help to maintain the
performance of the vehicle.
Braking and handling
performance may be adversely
affected if all the tyres are not
replaced at the same time.
If proper rotation and
maintenance have been done,
all four tyres should wear out at
about the same time. See
for
information on proper tyre
rotation. However, if it is
necessary to replace only one
axle set of worn tyres, place the
new tyres on the rear axle.
{
Danger
Tyres could explode during
improper service. Attempting to
mount or dismount a tyre could
cause injury or death. Only your
dealer or authorised tyre service
centre should mount or dismount
the tyres.
{
Warning
Mixing tyres of different sizes,
brands, or types may cause
loss of control of the vehicle,
resulting in a crash or other
vehicle damage. Use the
correct size, brand, and type
of tyre on all wheels.
