CAUTION: (Continued)
•
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 Inflation - Tire Pressure on page 5-62,
for inflation pressure adjustment for high
speed driving.
Notice: If your vehicle has P245/45R18 size
tires, they are classified as low-profile tires.
Low- profile tires are more susceptible to damage
from road hazards or curb impact than standard
profile tires. Tire and or wheel assembly damage
can occur when coming into contact with road
hazards like, potholes or sharp edged objects or
when sliding into a curb. Your GM warranty does
not cover this type of damage. Keep tires set to
the correct inflation pressure and when possible
avoid contact with curbs, potholes and other
road hazards.
Winter Tires
If you expect to drive on snow or ice covered roads
often, you may want to get winter tires for your vehicle.
All season tires provide good overall performance on
most surfaces but they may not offer the traction
you would like or the same level of performance as
winter tires on snow or ice covered roads.
See your dealer for details regarding winter tire
availability and proper tire selection. Also, see
Buying
New Tires on page 5-70.
If you choose to use snow tires:
•
Use tires of the same brand and tread type
on all four wheel positions.
•
Use only radial ply tires of the same size,
load range, and speed rating as the original
equipment tires.
Winter tires with the same speed rating as your original
equipment tires may not be available for H, V, W and ZR
speed rated tires. If you choose snow tires with a lower
speed rating, never exceed the tire’s maximum speed
capability.
