Optional Tires; Inflation Pressure - Chevrolet 1971 Camaro Owner's Manual

When driving on wet or slushy
roads, it is possible for a wedge of
water to build up between the tire
and road surface. This phenome-
non, known as hydroplaning, may
cause partial or complete loss of
traction, which adversely affects
vehicle control and stopping abil-
ity. To reduce the possibility of
traction loss, the following pre-
cautions should be observed:
1. Slow down during rainstorms or
when roads are slushy.
ENGINE AND BODY
2. Slow down if road has standing
water or puddles.
3. Replace tires when tread wear
indicators are visible. (See
Safety Checks section.)
4. Keep tires properly inflated.
For temporary assistance when
traction is lost on ice or snow, the
use of AC Liquid Tire Chain is
recommended.
Optional Tires
Only those tires of the size shown
STANDARD
on the following table are recom-
mended for use on your Camaro.
Use of any other size tire may seri-
ously affect ride, handling, ground
clearance, tire clearance and speed-
ometer calibration. To achieve best
all around vehicle handling per-
formance, belted-bias tires and
bias ply tires should not be mixed
on the same car. Because of possi-
ble adverse effects on vehicle han-
dling, do not mix radial ply tires
with other type tires on the same
vehicle.
