Dual Tire Rotation - GMC Savana 2016 Owner's Manual

264 Vehicle Care
Use this rotation pattern when
rotating the tires.
If the vehicle has a compact
spare tire, do not include it in the
tire rotation.
Adjust the front and rear tires to
the recommended inflation
pressure on the Tire and
Loading Information label after
the tires have been rotated. See
Tire Pressure 0 258 and Vehicle
Load Limits 0 170.
Reset the Tire Pressure Monitor
System. See Tire Pressure
Monitor Operation 0 260.
Check that all wheel nuts are
properly tightened. See Wheel
Nut Torque under Capacities
and Specifications 0 307.
Warning
Rust or dirt on a wheel, or on the
parts to which it is fastened, can
make wheel nuts become loose
after time. The wheel could come
off and cause an accident. When
changing a wheel, remove any
rust or dirt from places where the
wheel attaches to the vehicle. In
an emergency, a cloth or a paper
towel can be used; however, use
a scraper or wire brush later to
remove all rust or dirt.
Lightly coat the center of the
wheel hub with wheel bearing
grease after a wheel change or
tire rotation to prevent corrosion
or rust build-up. Do not get
grease on the flat wheel
mounting surface or on the
wheel nuts or bolts.

Dual Tire Rotation

When the vehicle is new,
or whenever a wheel, wheel bolt,
or wheel nut is replaced, check the
wheel nut torque after
160, 1 600, and 10 000 km (100,
1,000, and 6,000 mi) of driving. For
proper wheel nut tightening
information, see Removing the Flat
Tire and Installing the Spare Tire
under Tire Changing 0 272. Also
see Wheel Nut Torque under
Capacities and Specifications 0 307.
The outer tire on a dual wheel setup
generally wears faster than the
inner tire. Tires last longer and wear
more evenly if they are rotated. See
Tire Inspection 0 263 and Tire
Rotation 0 263. Also see
Maintenance Schedule 0 295.
Warning
If the vehicle is operated with a
tire that is underinflated, the tire
can overheat. An overheated tire
can lose air suddenly or catch
