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 5-53.
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.
