Vehicle Care
Each new wheel should have the
same load-carrying capacity,
diameter, width, offset, and be
mounted the same way as the one it
replaces.
Replace wheels, wheel bolts, wheel
nuts, or Tyre Pressure Monitor
System (TPMS) sensors with new
GM original equipment parts.
{
Warning
Using the wrong replacement
wheels, wheel bolts, or wheel
nuts can be dangerous. It could
affect the braking and handling of
the vehicle. Tyres can lose air,
and cause loss of control, causing
a crash. Always use the correct
wheel, wheel bolts, and wheel
nuts for replacement.
Notice:
The wrong wheel can
also cause problems with bearing
life, brake cooling, speedometer
or odometer calibration,
headlamp aim, bumper height,
vehicle ground clearance, and
tyre or tyre chain clearance to the
body and chassis.
Used Replacement Wheels
{
Warning
Replacing a wheel with a used
one is dangerous. How it has
been used or how far it has been
driven may be unknown. It could
fail suddenly and cause a crash.
When replacing wheels, use a
new GM original equipment
wheel.
Tyre Chains
Use tyre chains only where legal
and only when you must.
Before using tyre chains, check with
the tyre manufacturer to make sure
tyre chains are compatible with the
tyres on the vehicle.
It is recommended that tyre chains
be used only on P265/70R17 size
tyres.
Install them on the rear tyres, as
tightly as possible, with the ends
securely fastened.
Notice:
Do not install traction
devices on the front tyres.
Drive slowly and follow the cable
manufacturer's instructions. If you
hear the cables contacting the
vehicle, stop and retighten them.
If the contact continues, slow down
until it stops.
