It
Wknnls
Putting
a
used wheel on your vehicle is
dangerous. You can’t know how it’s been used or
how far it’s been driven. It could fail suddenly
and cause an accident.
If
you have to replace
a
wheel, use a new
GM
original equipment wheel.
Tire
Chains
NOTICE:
Use tire chains only where legal and only when
you must. Use only
SAE
Class
“S”
type chains
that are the proper size
for
your tires. Install
them on the front tires and tighten them as
tightly as possible with the ends securely
fastened. Drive slowly
and
follow the chain
manufacturer’s instructions.
If
you can hear the
chains contacting your vehicle, stop and retighten
them.
If
the contact continues, slow down until it
stops. Driving too fast or spinning the wheels
with chains on will damage your vehicle.
