CAUTION: (Continued)
•
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. See Inflation - Tire
Pressure on page 379.
•
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.
See High-Speed Operation on page 381 for
inflation pressure adjustment for high
speed driving.
Low-Profile Performance Tire
If your vehicle has P225/50R18 or P225/50R17 size
tires, they are classified as low-profile performance
tires. These tires are designed for very responsive
driving on wet or dry pavement. You may also
notice more road noise with low-profile performance
tires and that they tend to wear faster.
Notice: If your vehicle has low-profile tires,
they are more susceptible to damage from road
hazards or curb impact than standard profile
tires. Tire and/or wheel assembly damage can
occur when coming into contact with road
hazards like, potholes, or sharp edged objects,
or when sliding into a curb. Your GM warranty
does not cover this type of damage. Keep tires
set to the correct inflation pressure and, when
possible avoid contact with curbs, potholes,
and other road hazards.
