Different Size Tyres And Wheels - Cadillac 2016 Escalade Owner's Manual

306 Vehicle Care
Warning
Mixing tyres of different sizes,
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 tyres on all wheels.
This vehicle may have a
different size spare than the
road tyres originally installed
on the vehicle. When new, the
vehicle included a spare tyre
and wheel assembly with a
similar overall diameter as the
road tyres and wheels, so it is
all right to drive on it. The
spare tyre was developed for
use on this vehicle and will not
affect vehicle handling.
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.
Winter tyres with the same
speed rating as the original
equipment tyres may not be
available for H, V, W, Y and ZR
speed rated tyres. Never exceed
the winter tyre's maximum
speed capability when using
winter tyres with a lower speed
rating.
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.
See Tyre Pressure Monitor
System 0 299.
The Tyre and Loading
Information label indicates the
original equipment tyres on the
vehicle. See Vehicle Load Limits
0 198, for the label location and
more information about the Tyre
and Loading Information label.
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,
