Tires
Your new Pontiac comes with high-quality tires
made by
a
leading tire manufacturer. If you ever have
questions about your tire warranty and where to obtain
service, see your Pontiac Warranty booklet for details.
E
Poorly maintained and improperly used tires are
dangerous.
Overloading your tires can cause overheating
as a result of too much friction. You could
have
an airout and a serious accident. See
"Loading Your Vehicle" in the Index.
Underinflated tires pose the same danger as
overloaded tires. The resulting accident
could cause serious injury. Check all tires
frequently to maintain the recommended
pressure. Tire pressure should be checked
when your tires are cold.
CAUTION: (Continued)

Overinflated tires are more likely to be cut,
punctured or broken by a sudden impact
--
such
as
when you hit
a
pothole. Keep tires
at the recommended pressure.
Worn, old tires can cause accidents. If your
tread is badly worn, or if your tires have
been damaged, replace them.
Inflation
--
Tire Pressure
The Tire-Loading Information label, which is on the
rear edge of
the
driver's door
shows
the
correct
inflation
pressures for your tires when they're cold. "Cold"
means your vehicle has been sitting for at least three
hours or driven no more than 1 mile (1.6
km).
