Winter Tires; Tire Sidewall Labeling - Cadillac 2004 CTS Owner's Manual

Winter Tires

If you expect to drive on snow or ice covered roads
often, you may want to get winter tires for your vehicle.
All season tires provide good overall performance on
most surfaces but they may not offer the traction
you would like or the same level of performance as
winter tires on snow or ice covered roads. If you choose
to use winter tires:
•
Use tires of the same brand and tread type on all
four wheel positions.
•
Use only radial ply tires of the same size as your
original equipment tires.
See Buying New Tires on page 5-68 .

Tire Sidewall Labeling
