Used Replacement Wheels
CAUTION:
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:
If your vehicle is an SE model with P225/60R16
size tires, don’t use tire chains. They can damage
your vehicle because there’s not enough clearance.
Use another type of traction device only if
its manufacturer recommends it for use on
your vehicle and tire size combination and
road conditions.
NOTICE: (Continued)
NOTICE: (Continued)
Follow that manufacturer’s instructions. To help
avoid damage to your vehicle, drive slowly,
readjust or remove the device if it’s contacting
your vehicle, and don’t spin your wheels.
If you do find traction devices that will fit, install
them on the front tires.
If your vehicle is a GT model, a GTP model or if
you have an SE model with other tires, 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.
