Tire Inspection

GM recommends that the tires,
including the spare tire, if the
vehicle has one, be inspected
for signs of wear or damage at
least once a month.
Replace the tire if:
The indicators at three or
more places around the tire
can be seen.
There is cord or fabric
showing through the tire's
rubber.
The tread or sidewall is
cracked, cut, or snagged
deep enough to show cord
or fabric.
The tire has a bump, bulge,
or split.
The tire has a puncture, cut,
or other damage that cannot
be repaired well because of
the size or location of the
damage.

Tire Rotation

Tires should be rotated
every 12 000 km (7,500 mi).
See Scheduled Maintenance on
page 11 2.
The purpose of a regular tire
rotation is to achieve a uniform
wear for all tires on the vehicle.
This will ensure that the vehicle
continues to perform most like it
did when the tires were new.
I n f o r ma t i o n P r o v i d e d b y :
Vehicle Care
Any time you notice unusual
wear, rotate the tires as soon
as possible and check wheel
alignment. Also check for
damaged tires or wheels.
See When It Is Time for New
Tires on page 10 63 and Wheel
Replacement on page 10 68.
When rotating the vehicle's tires,
always use the correct rotation
pattern shown here.
