Tire Chains - Pontiac 1998 Firebird Owner's Manual

Used Replacement Wheels
Using the wrong replacement wheels, wheel
bolts or wheel nuts on your vehicle can be
dangerous. It could affect the braking and
handling of your vehicle, make your tires lose
air and make you lose control. You could have
a collision in which you or others could be
injured. Always use the correct wheel, wheel
bolts and wheel nuts for replacement.

NOTICE:
~
The wrong wheel can also cause problems with
bearing life, brake cooling, speedometer or
odometer calibration, headlamp aim, bumper
height, vehicle ground clearance and tire or
tire chain clearance to the body and chassis.
See "Changing a Flat Tire" in the Index for
more information.
Putting a used wheel on your vehicle is
dangerous. You can't know how it's been used or
how far it's been driven. It could fail suddenly
and cause an accident. If you have to replace a
wheel, use
a
new GM original equipment wheel.

If
your vehicle has P235/55R16,
P245/50ZR16
or
P275/40ZR17 size tires, don't use tire chains.
They can damage your vehicle because there's
not enough clearance.
