Different Size Tires And Wheels - Chevrolet Pontiac Wave 2006 Owner's Manual

CAUTION:
{
If you use bias-ply tires on your vehicle, the
wheel rim flanges could develop cracks after
many miles of driving. A tire and/or wheel could
fail suddenly, causing a crash. Use only
radial-ply tires with the wheels on your vehicle.
Your vehicle's original equipment tires are listed on
the Tire and Loading Information Label. This label
is attached to the vehicle's center pillar (B-pillar).
See Loading Your Vehicle on page 4-29, for more
information about the Tire and Loading Information
Label.

Different Size Tires and Wheels

If you add wheels or tires that are a different size than
your original equipment wheels and tires, this may
affect the way your vehicle performs, including its
braking, ride and handling characteristics, stability and
resistance to rollover. Additionally, if your vehicle
has electronic systems such as, anti-lock brakes,
traction control, and electronic stability control, the
performance of these systems can be affected.
CAUTION:
{
If you add different sized wheels, your vehicle
may not provide an acceptable level of
performance and safety if tires not recommended
for those wheels are selected. You may increase
the chance that you will crash and suffer serious
injury. Only use GM specific wheel and tire
systems developed for your vehicle, and have
them properly installed by a GM certified
technician.
