Vehicle Care
10-59
The vehicle needs new tires if any
of the following statements are true:
.
You can see the indicators at
three or more places around
the tire.
.
You can see cord or fabric
showing through the tire's
rubber.
.
The tread or sidewall is cracked,
cut, or snagged deep enough to
show cord or fabric.
.
The tire has a bump, bulge,
or split.
.
The tire has a puncture, cut,
or other damage that cannot be
repaired well because of the size
or location of the damage.
The rubber in tires degrades over
time. This is also true for the
spare tire, if the vehicle has one,
even if it is not being used.
Multiple conditions affect how fast
this aging takes place, including
temperatures, loading conditions,
and inflation pressure maintenance.
With proper care and maintenance
tires typically wear out before they
degrade due to age. If you are
unsure about the need to replace
the tires as they get older, consult
the tire manufacturer for more
information.
Buying New Tires
GM has developed and matched
specific tires for your vehicle.
The original equipment tires
installed on your vehicle,
when it was new, were
designed to meet General
Motors Tire Performance Criteria
Specification (TPC Spec)
system rating. If you need
replacement tires, GM strongly
recommends that you get tires
with the same TPC Spec rating.
This way, your vehicle will
continue to have tires that are
designed to give the same
performance and vehicle safety,
during normal use, as the
original tires.
GM's exclusive TPC Spec
system considers over a dozen
critical specifications that impact
the overall performance of
your vehicle, including brake
system performance, ride and
handling, traction control, and
tire pressure monitoring
performance. GM's TPC Spec
number is molded onto the tire's
sidewall near the tire size. If the
tires have an all
‐
season tread
design, the TPC Spec number
will be followed by an MS for
mud and snow. See
