Different Size Tyres And Wheels - Cadillac CTS Owner's Manual

speed capability when using
winter tyres with a lower speed
rating.
Warning
Never drive faster than the speed
the tyres are rated, regardless of
the legal speed limit. When
frequently driving the vehicle at
high speeds and/or for prolonged
periods of time, check with your
vehicle/tyre dealer for the proper
type of tyres to use for the
specific driving and weather
conditions.
Warning
Mixing tyres of different sizes
(other than those originally
installed on the vehicle), brands,
or types may cause loss of
control of the vehicle, resulting in
a crash or other vehicle damage.
Use the correct size, brand, and
type of tyre on all four wheels.
Warning
Using bias-ply tyres on the
vehicle may cause the wheel
rim flanges to develop cracks
after many miles of driving.
A tyre and/or wheel could fail
suddenly and cause a crash.
Use only radial-ply tyres with
the wheels on the vehicle.
If the vehicle tyres must be
replaced with a tyre that does
not have a TPC Spec number,
make sure they are the same
size, load range, speed rating,
and construction (radial) as the
original tyres.
Vehicles that have a tyre
pressure monitoring system
could give an inaccurate
low-pressure warning if non-TPC
Spec rated tyres are installed.

Different Size Tyres and
Wheels
If wheels or tyres are installed that
are a different size than the original
equipment wheels and tyres, vehicle
performance, including its braking,
ride and handling characteristics,
stability, and resistance to rollover
may be affected. If the vehicle has
electronic systems such as antilock
brakes, rollover airbags, traction
control, electronic stability control,
or All-Wheel Drive, the performance
of these systems can also be
affected.
