Warning: The temperature grade for this tire is established for
a
tire that is
properly inflated and
not
overloaded. Excessive speed, underinflation, or
excessive loading, either separately or
in
combination, can cause heat
buildup and possible tire failure.
These grades are molded on the sidewalls of passenger car tires.
While
the
tires available
as
standard or optional equipment
on
General
Motors vehicles may vary with respect to these grades, all such tires meet
General Motors performance standards and have been approved for
use
on
General Motors vehicles.
All
passenger type
(P
Metric) tires must conform
to
Federal safety requirements
in
addition
to
these grades.
Wheel Alignment and Tire Balance
The
wheels on your vehicle were aligned and balanced carefully at the
factory
to
give you the longest tire life and best overall performance.
In most cases, you will not need
to
have your wheels aligned again.
However,
if
you
notice unusual tire wear or your vehicle pulling one way or
the other, the alignment may need
to
be reset.
If
you notice your vehicle
vibrating when driving
on
a
smooth road,
your
wheels may need
to
be
rebalanced.
Wheel Replacement
Replace any wheel that is bent, cracked, or badly rusted or corroded.
If
wheel nuts keep coming loose, the wheel, wheel bolts, and wheel
nuts
should be replaced.
If
the
wheel leaks air, replace
it
(except some aluminum
wheels, which can sometimes be repaired). See your GM dealer if any of
these conditions exist.
Your dealer will know the kind
of
wheel you need.
Each new wheel should have the same load carrying capacity, diameter,
width, offset, and be mounted the same way as
the
one
it
replaces.
If
you
need
to
replace any
of
your wheels, wheel bolts, or wheel
nuts,
replace them
only
with new
GM
original equipment parts. This way, you
will be
sure
to have
the
right wheel, wheel bolts, and wheel nuts for your
vehicle.
