Tyres

Every new GM vehicle has
high-quality tyres made by a
leading tyre manufacturer. See
the warranty manual for
information regarding the tyre
warranty and where to get
service. For additional
information refer to the tyre
manufacturer.
WARNING
Poorly maintained and
improperly used tyres are
dangerous.
Overloading the tyres can
cause overheating as a result
of too much flexing. There
could be a blowout and a
serious crash. See Vehicle
Load Limits on page 9 9.
WARNING (Continued)
Underinflated tyres pose the
same danger as overloaded
tyres. The resulting crash
could cause serious injury.
Check all tyres frequently to
maintain the recommended
pressure. Tyre pressure
should be checked when the
tyres are cold.
Overinflated tyres are more
likely to be cut, punctured,
or broken by a sudden impact
pothole. Keep tyres at the
recommended pressure.
Worn or old tyres can cause
a crash. If the tread is badly
worn, replace them.
Replace any tyres that have
been damaged by impacts
with potholes, curbs, etc.
