All-Season Tyres

This vehicle may come with all-season
tyres. These tyres are designed to
provide good overall performance on
most road surfaces and weather
conditions. Original equipment tyres
designed to GM's specific tyre
performance criteria have a TPC
specification code moulded onto the
sidewall. Original equipment
all-season tyres can be identified by
the last two characters of this TPC
code, which will be MS.
Consider installing winter tyres on the
vehicle if frequent driving on snow or
ice-covered roads is expected.
All-season tyres provide adequate
performance for most winter driving
conditions, but they may not offer the
same level of traction or performance
as winter tyres on snow or ice-covered
roads. See Winter Tyres 0 281.

Winter Tyres

This vehicle was not originally
equipped with winter tyres. Winter
tyres are designed for increased
traction on snow and ice-covered
roads. Consider installing winter tyres
VEHICLE CARE
on the vehicle if frequent driving on
ice or snow covered roads is expected.
See your dealer for details regarding
winter tyre availability and proper tyre
selection. Also, see Buying New
Tyres 0 292.
With winter tyres, there may be
decreased dry road traction, increased
road noise and shorter tread life. After
changing to winter tyres, be alert for
changes in the vehicle handling and
braking.
If using winter tyres:
Use tyres of the same brand and
tread type on all four wheel
positions.
Use only radial ply tyres of the
same size, load range and speed
rating as the original equipment
tyres.
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. If winter
tyres with a lower speed rating are
chosen, never exceed the tyre's
maximum speed capability.
