Summer Tyres; Tyre Pressure - Cadillac CTS 2013 Owner's Manual

Notice: Low-profile tyres are
more susceptible to damage
from road hazards or curb
impact than standard profile
tyres. Tyre 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. The warranty does not
cover this type of damage.
Keep tyres set to the correct
inflation pressure and, when
possible, avoid contact with
curbs, potholes, and other
road hazards.
Summer Performance Tyres
Many General Motors high
performance models come
factory-equipped with tyres that
are optimised for maximum dry
and wet road performance while
still retaining satisfactory tread
life, excellent durability and low
noise levels. In severe winter
climates where snowfall may be
significant, these tyres may be
found to provide less traction.

Summer Tyres

This vehicle may come with high
performance summer tyres. These
tyres have a special tread and
compound that are optimised for
maximum dry and wet road
performance. This special tread and
compound will decrease
performance in cold climates, and
on ice and snow. We recommend
installing winter tyres on the vehicle
if frequent driving in cold
temperatures or on snow or ice
covered roads is expected. See
Winter Tyres on page 10 60.

Tyre Pressure

Tyres need the correct amount
of air pressure to operate
effectively.
Vehicle Care
Notice: Neither tyre
underinflation nor
overinflation is good.
Underinflated tyres, or tyres
that do not have enough air,
can result in:
Tyre overloading and
overheating which could
lead to a blowout.
Premature or
irregular wear.
Poor handling.
Reduced fuel economy.
Overinflated tyres, or tyres
that have too much air, can
result in:
Unusual wear.
Poor handling.
Rough ride.
Needless damage from
road hazards.
