Tires - Pontiac 2009 Solstice Owner's Manual

Tires

Your new vehicle 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 vehicle Warranty
booklet for details. For additional information refer
to the tire manufacturer.
CAUTION:
{
Poorly maintained and improperly used tires
are dangerous.
•
Overloading your vehicle's tires can
cause overheating as a result of too
much flexing. You could have an air-out
and a serious accident. See Loading the
Vehicle on page 4-20.

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 vehicle's tires are
cold. See Inflation - Tire Pressure on
page 5-53.
•
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 the
tire's tread is badly worn, or if your
vehicle's tires have been damaged,
replace them.
